Re: [Chrysler300] Brake problems

Hi Niels,
              you didn't mention whether you had a four wheel disc conversion or just front discs. I hate to make assumptions but if you went four wheel discs I'd look to the rear gm "eldorado" calipers as the culprits. If you just have the front conversion there should really be no problem. What master cylinder did you use?

Hi group, this is Niels from Germany.
I ´ve just finished a complete restauration of my 300G HTC and I wanted to show my car next weekend.

But during driving the first miles I noted a big problem with the brakes.
The car has a disc brake conversion from AAJ and everything works on it but
I am not able to get a hard brake point at the pedal and  it feels like pushing the pedal
into something like butter!  It is not possible to get  the tires blocking even with the pedal
putting down untill the firewall!

There is of course no air in the brake hoses!!
Has some body had the same problems?

Has anybody an idea what to do or what can help?
A friend of mine suggested changing the standard hoses to steel flex hoses.

Thank you for your reply in advance.
Regards, Niels
