    Guys I bought the F-Body system from ZZP cause it had all the hardware. I had the shop who built my engine install them. To be honest this is the worst upgrade I've experienced. I have to stand on the brakes sometime to get the car to even stop. They feel horrible. I don't know if it was a bad install or maybe my master cylinder is going out or not enough vacuum going to the brake booster or what!! Any ideas??????

    your going to have more pedal travel and its going to take the pedal father to stop the car when light braking. but when you slam on the brakes they will bite.

    My suggestion. Bleed the brakes a few times, could have air in the line..
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them
    2009 HEMI RAM- Mods are in the works!!

    01 Regal GS-SOLD :-(

    Were they bled properly?

    Thats what it sounds like.

    Get an impala brake booster, those help.

    And its entirely possible your MC is going out.
