I am not satisfied with my pedal feel. I have ECS Stage II front
brakes, Hawk HPS pads all around. I have a Motiv pressure bleeder.
Even after putting 2 liters of ATE super blue through the system a
couple weeks ago, my pedal still feels squishy. I did change the rear
rotors at the time, and until the rear brakes adjusted the brakes felt
really bad, but now they're back to like the felt before the rotor
change - not terrible, but not firm enough. I have stainless lines
all around.
I'm wondering if I need to somehow cycle the ABS pump while bleeding the
system. Or maybe I need to purge the master cylinder somehow (?).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. I have new track brake pads which cost an arm and a
leg and I'd really like to take full advantage of them at NHIS next
month.
Incidentally the reason I put 2 liters of brake fluid through the system
was because I changed one of the rear caliper piston seals when I did
the rotors, and I was getting bubbles *forever* on that corner afterward.
All four corners were bled bubble-free eventually.
