Re: [Chrysler300] Front Disc Brake Conversion on 300K Ram? (AAJ Brake Kit)

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Check your brake line all the way to the back. Chances are you already 
have a proportioning valve mounted there somewhere. You definitely need 
one, and I think AAJ always puts one in the conversion kit.
