I feel your pain with brake strength. Is your pedal travel excessive, or is it that you can't get them locked up without applying Arnie Schwarzenegger type leg pressure?Now when it’s on the ground, I have just over 1” of clearance.
With that all done, I took it for a ride. Brakes DEFINITELY don’t feel as strong as they should be. Tried bleeding it again with a vacuum bleeder, and it seems like there is endless air in the system. I’m at the point wrenches will start flying in the garage
Edit : be careful of bump steer and the issues it creates by adding the bump steer tie rod deal. I can talk at length about the danger of bump steer in my application, or I should say, not understanding the exact effect of too much bump steer in my application - damn near wrecked me.
