Ok so whole back story last year i changed my front manual drums to wilwood 4p disc with a hydroboost. So this system worked flawlessly absolutely no issue, till now. About 2 months ago the pedal started to feel mushy and at a stop light it felt like it lost pressure since the car will suddenly...

Ok so my car is pretty much stock as far as suspension goes. I have saggy leafs in the rear and torched springs up front with Gas-a-just shocks in the rear and monroe oespectrum shocks up front. By lowering my car i know ive changed the geo on it creating some bump steer. On the freeway (or...
