I just put 94-98 cobra calipers/rotors all the way around, 94-95 cobra master cylinder, and 94-95 brake booster on my 1990 GT, all the air is out of the system, there isnt any leaks or anything like that, my qeustion is how should the pedal feel? my pedal goes a little over halfway down before its hard to push, is this right?

You probably need to make a very slight adjustment to the booster rod that actuates the MC from the booster.

Max Motorsports has some good instructions on setting the booster rod.

Sounds like you need to adjust it out slightly. You don't want to go too far or the brakes will drag and heat up

Make sure after you adjust the rod out that you Jack the front wheels and make sire they don't drag. Do this after a drive to heat them up as well
