alright just completed an immense load of work to the car (5 lug conversion, replacing freeze plugs, m2300 brakes, mm max grip box minus k member, ss brake lines, wilwood adjustable porportioning valve, and now my issue is i have the exact same pedal feel i did when i originally installed the brakes the the stock fox MC, now there is a 95 GT MC in the car and it still feels the same, and the pedal also has quite a bit of play in it, but i did adjust the booster pushrod like MM suggested but it was about 3 am when i did it so its hard to remember if i actually did it or not any help is appreciated as always

Why did you not use the 93 Cobra Booster that came in the M2300K Kit? You still need to adjust the Booster Rod to the correct length even though everything is new.

Possibly still air in the system. The rear calipers are tough to bleed since they do not flow very well. Sometimes you need to remove them, put a block of wood in the caliper and bleed them with the screw held up by a friend.

Did you swap the booster? Or you still have a Fox stock booster?

would having the parking brake set affect the ability to bleed the brakes?
