Hey guys with upgraded brakes

Does this stop the surging we have with our car (I know pressing down harder does) but does this help make it less noticable (also what do you have brakes lines or new rotors or pads.)

I'm still trying to understand everyone's problem with this. You get a surge in the RPMs. It may feel like the car is moving, but if you have your foot on the brake, it isn't going anywhere. And you don't have to press on the brakes any harder than any other car. So, upgraded brakes won't make a difference since the RPM surge will still happen and you won't move just the same as the factory brakes.

The car does move. Mine if you hold the brake held down just enough to stop the car the car will start to move I've tested it in will move about 10 feet before the car stops without applying more power to the brakes

It scared the SHIT out of me the first week or two that I had the car, but I’m quite used to it by now.
I have felt the car move, but I think it was only an inch or two.

There is NOTHING wrong with the brakes.

Yeah, and you probably got whooped.
I never noticed any surging. Is this only with the AC on? My old 87 Legend did this every now and then only when the AC activated and deactivated. Even then it was only an few inches or so.

Post some pics of them then damnit.

How come you never show up to the So Fl. meets? Someone there would surely take pics of your ride for ya.

I bet some of them guys would even meet at a location convenient to you if ya needed.

I notice you never respond to posts about So Fl meets... how come?

Yeah surging seems pretty common. When I first bought the car..i would be sitting at a stoplight and my foot would be half-assed on the brake and it would pull forward...almost rearended a few people before...weird!! For mean...it just brings to mind 260+ HORSES pulling at the bit!!!
