LowerCS,
I have had occasion to install or trouble shoot maybe a dozen of the SSBC disk brake setups and, as luck would have it, I have NEVER found their system to be correct. It simply amazes me that so many people have had good luck with their stuff. Never did an install that I didn't have to find a part to complete locally.
One thing you might check out on your setup is the master cylinder. If it is SSBC, chances are that you have a residual pressure valve in the rear brake port that tends to hold rear pressure like on a drum rear. You might try removing that residual valve or locate an all disk brake master cylinder to use.
I found this to be a problem on one of my trouble shoots. I called SSBC for their help, and they said that the master cylinder supplied was for a disk brake (front only) 67 Mustang. When I asked about removing the residual valve and what that would do to their warranty, they said to go ahead if I wished, as there was no warranty on the setup anyway. Heck of a lot of warm fuzzy feelings there, huh?
Best,
Al
Classic Mustangs are full of surprises, and none of them are pleasant.
