I did the sn-95 front spindles and the new FRPP front lower control arms with the improved ball joints and I did the FRPP rear 5 lug drum kit.

I put on SS brake lines on the front. Now my pedal goes down over half before braking. I bled the brakes and there is no air. Can I bring the pedal up somehow?

Need more info, like master cylinder, booster, etc. Did you change them also? If so, did you bench bleed the MC? Did you adjust the booster rod? Let us know everything you did to the brakes and such, so people can think on the right path.

I did not change the MC or booster because I'm still using the rear drums. I did not adjust the booster rod. That would help i bet. How many turns do I turn it?

Look at Matt's website on his MC & PV upgrades page. http://svo73mm.cjb.net He has some info on adjusting the booster rod, if you change the MC or the calipers. Which calipers do you have, the 94-98 single piston or 99+ dual piston? That might be an issue if you have the newer ones, you might need the newer MC. Just a couple of things to check.

Anyone else have ideas?
