Default 93 civic coupe gsr brake conversion problem*******

have a question a shop is doing my conversion it has been ther over a week now ...first they ran into some problems with my brake lines being clogged then they forgot to put my dust shield in..so i go to pick it up on saturday and what happens as i am driving down the highway my car slowly starts to slow down so i downshift...trying to gain speed ..but its seem like my car was dying so then i get off the next exit and get to a light at that ligh i notice my front brakes smoking...then when the light turns green i give it gas car wont move i am like what...thought the clutch was gone or something but then i feel the brake it was extremely hard..so then i finallly got it moving enough to make it thru the intersection and seems like all 4 brakes locked up..

i had them install front and rear gsr conversion with the gsr brake booster,master cyclinder,gsr prop valve as well and they cant figure out what is wrong but i took it back to the shop they thought they fixed it...go in...i have to take of work for 2 hours by the way...thank god my job is so nice to me...and then i get there they tell me to drive it around it is fixed now and problem occurs again...after about five mins i drove it back to the shop about like 2 shops down it wouldnt move at all...

now all i know is that one of the lines in the back passneger side was leaking fluid but i dont know if that would cause the whole car to look up...if any one knows please help...they also have changed the distributor block....

sounds like a bad barke booster.. when brake boosters go bad they lock the brakes up... when the maser cylinder goes bad the brake pedal goes to teh floor..

99% chance you need to readjust the rod for the master cyl. it should have a slight amount of movement before touching the cylinder. its brakes so dont be affraid to have a shop do it. brakes have to be done right.
if someone has replaced the master than this is surely the cause.
