Brake problems?

[art leong]

I'm changing the master cylinder, And see if that helps.
I also am wondering if I used a bigger piston caliper (now 54mm change to 60mm).
Would this increase the static ( against the converter) holding? I'm not sure if a larger piston would increase the static holding with the same rotor?

Thanks for this I read it and it answers some of my questions.
But the Chrysler FWD cars. are biased brakes (?) the front part of the master supplies the right front and left rear wheels, the back chamber supplies the left front and right rear.
I have changed all that and and now my 2 front wheels are supplied by the rear part and my rear wheels are supplied by the front section.
One thing that the article brings to light is that my fronts have 54 mm pistons my backs have 34mm pistons. The stock setup would supply a 54mm and a 34mm piston. Now my fronts call for two 54mm pistons. I wonder if I have the volume to supply them? The master cylinder is 22mm. Not sure of the stroke though.

Thanks. I'll look that over. Ironicly I was looking on that forum to see about hood Subaru hood scoops. To cover my four throttle bodies when I put them on.

Art, forgive me for asking a dumb question, but are your bleeders all on the top side of the calipers? I had a friend with similar issues on a Ford, and the calipers were installed on the wrong sides. Once he changed them, the pedal was firm on the first pump.

Thanks Arnold. I'll check that first thing tomorrow. I think they are on right but anything is possible.
