Re: [Chrysler300] Disc brake conversion

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yea, it needs a bigger M/C, the disc piston area is much larger. And you do not add fluid to the M/C over time. The pads wear down and the pistons do not come back as far which makes the fluid level drop. The M/C should be dual and match the calipers to work properly. Do not add as when you change pads and push back the piston, the fluid will overflow the M/C which can make a mess.
