so i bought front and rear dimpled/slotted rotors from r1 concepts and hawk hps pads. got it all finished and now my brakes are really spongy and aren't biting that well. i prone them in like the box said, but they just don't feel right.

in order to fix it do they break in more or do i need to bleed them or what??

im lost haha.

 

bumpp

Bump!

 

bleed your brakes and then see if you still have the problem

 

yes its really simple, there is a nipple (lol) tell a friend to pump the brakes three times and hold it down, while he or she is holding it down, unscrew the nipple see if it squirts or a clean flow. if it squirts there was a bubble, make sure you keep feeling the brake fluid with DOT 3 because it goes down quick.

 

Yea bleed em and you should be good to go. Ten minute process

 

Wait all you did was swap pads and rotors? If you didn't open the bleeders then there is no reason you should have to bleed the brakes. Are the rotors Directional? I've seen dimpled rotors that are and when they are put on the wrong side it can effect your braking.

 

Posts like this scare me. Brakes are not something you should be doing if you don't understand how to do it properly.

If you opened up the calipers to press the pistons back in, then you probably still have air in the system that you didn't bleed out.

In the future, you can simply press the pistons back in slowly without loosening the bleeders, so you don't get air in the system.

 

Italian Joe that's exactly what I did. Not sure about the rotors being directional but also o looked inside my e brake lever and the cables aren't equal length either. At this point I wish i never would have done it. Ill bleed later today but Idk why the e brake is off like that..

 

they are directional

 

Directional which way? I have the slots arching towards the front. Slots- / -----> front of car. Lol

 

Bumppp

 

OMG... Why did you open the bleeders? Of course the brakes are spongy now...

 

Other way bro. \ --> front of car.

 

No I DIDNT open them.. lol

Also does anyone know if or how to adjust the e brake? Like to make the cables equal length in the console.

 

Bump
