Two problems 1=C5 2=LS1
Ok so a couple weeks ago I posted that I wasnt getting much stopping power front the LS1 rears, at that time I had the stock brakes on the front and thought they were filling with fluid before the rears were therefore applying more pressure to the fronts. so yesterday I finally install the front C5's and while im bleeding the front I figured I would re-bleed the rears and I notice when I open the bleader skrew on the front brakes the pedel goes to the floor like if should. But when I open the rear bleeder skrews the pedal only goes halfway and not nearly as much fluid bleeds out. I dont ever remember this happening with my stock rear brakes!? anyone have any ideas? Ive bled the brake 3 times already and they still SUCK. also I should note that im using the stock 3rd gen rear hoses with the LS1 banjo bolt. could this have anything to do with it? maybe the hole isnt lining up right??? beats me im grabing at straws here.
2nd problem is the front C5s. when I turn the wheel to the right I get a squeeking rubbing sound but to the left is goes away aswell as when im braking. anyone have any problems similar to this? could he hub be flexing?
Thanks for the help guys!

I have a similar turning problem, dont know if its the same as yours, but mine squeeks cause the hose is too short, and it pulls when I turn the wheel too much. I guess somehow it compresses the caliper a little, or pulls on the pad or something.

I dont think thats my problem. When im cruisin and im going straight there isnt any noise but if I turn the wheel to the right just a little bit the squeeking starts, and when I say little bit I mean just enough to stay on the road when you in the fast lane and theres is a crown to the road. I cant seem to find it!! its driving me CRAZY.
