strange brake problem
in my 88 iroc im having some weird brake problems
first off i have a 4th gen rear with 98 calipers, pads, rotors, and hoses
brakes were always good, but one day i got this idea to put ceramic brake pads on the car all the way around.
well afterwards when i hit the brakes, the car would kinda keep moving and not stop well, but the pedal felt good.
well i put it in the air, and with the brake pedal down all the way i could turn the front pass wheel!!
so on a whim i replaced both calipers, hoses, mc, changed fluid, replaced bearings and cut the rotors.
bled it about 10 times...
still acts the same!!!
now when i brake hard the pass side groans when i stop and it still stops like crap. . .
could the ceramic pads be causing all this???
i even replaced the pass side rotor again, checked all the lines and everything and im lost!!
i wish i just left it alone haha
