Could it be the size of the M/C ?

I'm running a 25.4mm front and 22.2mm rear with a balance bar for my setup, plenty of volume for the pistons .... remember, those Big Reds (f+r) have much larger pistons than the 951 setup.

Do you have to pump the pedal a few times to stop the car ? or do you have a firm pedal with just one push ?

Oh, there is no problem to stop the car.With just one stroke it stop very well, better than the 951 set up.The master is from 951, but I do not have any balancing hardware.The calipers just mantain some considerable pressure/drag on the rotors.
Thanks,
Onix

Is the master cylinder used? This sounds like it might be a check value problem, getting stuck.

Yes , the master cylinder is used, but it was working very fine with the previuos 951 calipers/rotors. I just changed for the 993 twin turbo calipers/rotors. Anyway it just matter of a little work to try another master.
Thanks,

when i installed my brakes, they binded for a while, then eventually broke free. if you can turn the wheel by hand, even with some force, then try driving around for a while with them, test em out.

i installed 4 piston wilwoods allround on my car for reference
