Replaced F/R - Pads/Rotors.. A Question
i have been having hell with this car and braking. i think i finally fixed it. a front, brand new hose had been leaking extermely slowly that it could not be detected till today. replaced and bled....no air
then i replaced the front and rear pads and rotors all the way around on my 89'. i have noticed that the brake peformance dropped a bit. is this normal? i hope so....

Not trying to sound stupid, but you did bleed the rest of the calipers right?
That's the only thing I can think of. Or maybe the pads haven't seated themselves onto the rotors yet.
Sorry I can't do more,

well compared to before, no brake power, i would call them baer brakes :sillylol: well it's probably just the pads that haven't seated yet as you metioned AJ. lastly yes i did bleed all the brakes for the 30th time.
what fun that is........
