So for awhile now my brake pedal has been really squishy.. When brake the pedal will be squishy then get a little firm. But it would go down pretty far before it got a little firm..

If I'm going a decent speed and try to get on the brakes hard.. The car will squat in a angled position like all the brakes aren't being pressed evenely... I changed my brakes with OEM pads and rotors and bled them.. They suck..

Could this be something further than just bleeding? Its a 2010 SS. Brembos feel worse than a cavalier

 

Did you happen to buy this SS/TC from Sox-Fan?!? lol

 

Did you bleed them in the correct order? Also do any of you lines look like they've been swelling?

 

No I bought it brand new.. And not really that I have noticed man... It's wierd cause sometimes I'll push be pedal down and it will feel real firm. If not I have to push it once then the 2nd or 3 rd time I push it it will feel firmer..

And let's say I'm in 2nd and I give throttle to about 50mph and let it cruis down in speed, if I hit the brakes then, most of the time it will feel firm I don't understand it lol..

 

i put brembos on my LSJ over the summer, had to bleed them 2 times before they were good, now i love them.

how did you bleed them ?

 

For ***** and giggles go pull your abs fuse and see if it changes your braking.

 

I chased that for months. Ended up dumping the car after hundreds and hundreds of dollars spent. good luck. I can give you the list of everything it wasn't t least as far as my car was concerned.

 

I bled them I the order Right rear, left rear, right front, left front . I did pull my abs fuse cause I read your thread sox-fan. Didn't do anything as far as I noticed... If it did do anything it wasn't noticeable

 

You never figured out your issue?

 

the solution is to buy a Vette ... just ask Sox

 

Did you bleed the brembos inner then outer? Or just the outer?

If the abs fuse pull didn't do anything you don't have a problem like Sox's

 

Wrong order its a cross system according to Powell it is s RR/LF/LR/RF also inner then outter
I have 2010 as well I've been through three sets of front of brakes and it works just fine for me

 

I'm getting them bled at a shop now.. I'll keep you guys posted

 

your getting your brakes bled at a shop ....

 

Lol I've bled them twice with no results! And it's freezing out Now.. They have a vacuum bleeder they're gonna be using.. Lol worth a shot.

 

tell them the correct order to do it lmao

99% chance they dont know the correct order.

 

Seized pistons in the front Brembo's isn't unheard of.

 

Unless you have a snap on unit or a techII in your back pocket, yes you need a shop with that equiepment to test the ABS unit and get it to cycle while you bleed them >>>>*if you suspect the abs unit is air bound or not working*<<<<<.

oh, and by the way both the techII and Snap-On do them in the proper order.

 

I'm gonna see what happens with this.. Hopefully they jus need to be bled !!

 

I'll keep you guys updated I'll let you know what happens!

 

So bleeding them didn't do a dam thing. I pulled out of the shop, the first brake was pretty stiff. Felt decent.. After that it sucked still... I don't understand what it could be!? If there's no air in the line what else is there to check?.. What the hell!

If my "traction service ESC" light is on and my traction control don't work, could that have something to do with it?

 

So I came to the conclusion that I'm going to go to the dealer and hook up the techII thing. I really don't understand how it works at all.. But I'll have them deal with it. Hopefully they fix it's

 

I didnt even this about this but it makes sense. You need a Tech 2 to bleed the abs otherwise there could still be air in the lines.

 

Thats assuming there is air in the abs. But the techII will also be able to tell if there is a sensor going back causing the issue

 

Its possible. I can use them for free anyway :p
