I have a CR Sebring, built by someone else. It has a power disc/drum setup. When I got it, there was about 2”+ play in the pedal before the car started to stop, then it stopped on a dime.

Figuring the play was in the rod between the booster and the MC, I took it to a mechanic to adjust it. Turns out the rear brakes weren’t engaging at all, and once he got that working, the brakes were way too touchy with all 4 working. We swapped out the 15/16” MC for a 1-1/16” bore to decrease pressure, better but still too touchy. The pedal play seems to be in the pedal assembly, which I would also like to fix.

So, what I’m wondering is, why the booster? Seems like it’s not needed, since it’s too easy to stop the car, and I ought to pitch the thing while I’m trying to find the right MC diameter. There is almost no pedal feedback when stopping. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
