It's REALLY hard to lock the front tires, well you can't unless you straight slam on the brakes going like 40, the rear meh you still gotta try.

I'm saying 4 piston on the front and single in the rear.

Yea, that's what he was talking about. All the rears are single piston calipers, but the non-vented rears that come with the front single piston caliper cars are slightly smaller than the rear vented rotors that come with the 4 piston caliper equipped cars. Hence, since the calipers are similiar and the rotors aren't much different in size, you won't notice too much bias change. It will be slightly better than stock, but not by a lot.

Did you mount your calipers on the correct sides? If not, the bleeders point down, and it'll be impossible to bleed fully.
Sounds like you just need to bleed your brakes.

yes there mounted correctley i pulled them off my parts car about an hour before i installed plus i marked them just to be sure i didnt mess up .... the boosters arnt different are they i dont think they are cause some of the numbers match ???? my parts car is a 90 and my current car is a 91 i dont think that theres a diff but i could be wrong

On the NA's, the boosters and MC's are the same, the proportioning valves are all the same. If it worked before, and not now, you did something to cause it to not work. You disconnected all the lines and let in air. Get it out and you'll be fine.

I changed the boosters while i was doing it BUT the size differnce was not that big that i think using the stock one would make a huge differnce. Just a little harder to press the pedal most likely.4

I want to clarify something for the 4-lug guys.
4 piston caliper can be used but with minor modification. What type of modification is needed?
Are the rotors in the front the same size on all models of the FC?
In other words if I order rotors for the single piston 4-lug caliper will they work properly with the 4 piston caliper?
