Brake Master Cylinder upgrade?

I fixed my brakes. For one thing I had the rear calipers on the wrong sides of the car. The bleeders need to be at the top when the calipers are installed.
Once I swapped them, I suck out a bunch of air with the Mityvac before the fluid hit.
I also put worm gear clamps on the brake booster.
Now, I have a firm pedal.

The big vacuum line that comes out of the brake booster, it has 4 clamps on it. I replaced those 4 clamps with worm gear style clamps(the one you can tighten with a ratchet or screwdriver)

alright and by using these gear clamps you just tighten extra tight to get a good vac seal i asume, do you think this helpd your pedal feel or was it the fact that your rear calipers where backwards?

Useless thread...
I have a 1995 SC300
I installed Supra TT Calipers and Rotors.
SC300 has a three bolt master cylinder.
Supra has 2 bolt master cylinder.
Supra brake booster has too long of shaft to the pedal. ~1"
-I cant find any info on this problem-

The SC went to the 2 bolt design on the brake booster from 96. I also did the LS400 brake swap and had the dead pedal feel. I recently installed supra TT rear calipers and stop tech stainless steel braided lines. The car stops impressively now, no more dead pedal feel.
I recommend the TT calipers if you can find some, however the braided steel lines should also make a difference with the dead pedal feel when using the LS400 calipers..
