So........The story continues with the brake issues that I have had with this car since it's completion........Never again with this crap.......I bought a 4 wheel disc brake set-up thinking it would be a matched set-up and just bolt it on...........They sent the wrong pads with the kit to start with.......then found out the master cylinder wasn't sized correctly to work with the supplied vacuum booster.......Put the Hydro boost on and everything worked fine.......Yesterday I parked the car on a incline and applied the parking brake .......put the car in neutral and it rolled backwards........Humm !!!!.......I have a E-brake pedal but no stopping power........Get it home and put it up on the lift .........These are the GM Seville rear calipers so I'm sure it's the inherent problem associated with this set-up.....even with the brake applied the pads were loose in the calipers...........Now I know why GM stopped using this design.........anyhow..........Ordered a new rear Disc set-up with expanding drum E-brake.........Again.......I now realize I can't afford Cheap Stuff.........Going to do it the right way .........Here are some pic's.......New parts should be waiting for me when I get home later

I considered one of those CPP systems, but your experience along with the experience of may others has changed my mind.
