So I finished my 4 lug TC rear end swap... great stuff...
I'll take pics tomorrow. While I was under the car I went ahead and put the 73mm MK 7 rotors up front, 98 V6 master cylinder, I gutted the prop valve completely and used a fitting to run the 3-2 conversion, I ended up having to bend my own driver side front brake line, Steeda Sport Springs all around.
My brake pedal feel while driving is really spongy at first pump, the first pedal depression is super weak, the second pump is much stronger and by the third i can't put the brake to the floor.... that's every time... So I'm going to take my car to a brake shop on Tuesday or Monday if anything is open. I want them to check for leaks... But if everything checks out, and the pedal feels the same, should I upgrade the brake booster? What would cause the pedal to feel like it does? It eventually has pressure, just not until you pump a few times.. any thoughts?
Also... my front tires rub pretty bad now... Stock suspension minus the Steeda Sports. Running a 16x8 up front, not sure on the back spacing, could be 15mm offset? 245/50-16 tire on all 4 corners. Other than new rims/tires or a K-member... are there any options to get rid of the rubbing up front?
Also... I thought I could just use some autozone special 93 cobra brake cables... but they were way way way too long.. took them back and picked up a set of stock cables... still no luck... so should I have just picked up these in the first place?

Oh yeah... Saw this piece of crap today. He looked over and nodded at me when we were at a red light, he thought I was checking out his car.. I put my hand up to the window, gave him the thumbs down shaking my head in disapproval... ugh. From what I could tell it was chopped top, the door windows slid backwards, taillights were either taped in white electrical tape, or painted by a 3rd grader with narcolepsy, same treatment to the front headlights too...
