As much as this sounds like a joke it was the problem I had with my car. I thought for sure I had enough travel but didn't. Brakes wouldn't stop at all until I extended the linkage and added ~1-2" of travel. After the extension they were terrific. I have a 7/8 with Wilwoods, might not be the same issue but I really think its a test you should try
