    Hi everyone, got my entire set up from Jamco for my brakes to convert to discs. I have a 1967 Buick riviera. Bigger Cam and redone motor-430. Was drums on the back originally and disks on the front.
    Having problems with proper stopping power and have had my mechanic who I trust go over everything and have also looked at it myself.

    Added a vacuum pump for extra stopping power, hasn’t worked. I have proper pressure getting to my breaks but still doesn’t seem to grab properly.



    Has anyone had any issue with these kits?

    I changed the pads over for the front brakes and it seemed to make a difference.



    Below is what I have purchased from jamco. The customer service is very poor and this is why I’ve tried to relay this on a forum for advice.
