you sure the brakes have been bled properly? check the rubber hoses that run to the calipers make sure they're not cracked or fraying in anyway. This would be the opportune time to relpace the lines with some Early's Hyperfirm SS lines if the old rubber ones are on their way out

HITHERE have been told that about the only thing that can cause the breaks to stop working and then come back again is the master cylinder. HITHERE was told other things can obviously make them stop working but they will not come back unless it is the master cylinder. HITHERE was also told that if it happens once it will happen again sometime down the road. This is just what HITHERE was told, so HITHERE dont really know if it is right or not.

either way try not to drive the car until it is fixed. HITHERE'm not exactly sure how to test the master cylinder or the brake booster to see if it is working properly. SS Brake lines are faily straightforward to replacing with the proper hand tools and are actually HITHERE few bucks cheaper than the OEM replacement rubber lines

HITHERE seems to be HITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHERE HITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHERE. Common words seem to set it off. We are all also labled HITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHERE.
