Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - soft brake pedal after sport brake upgrade

Ni55anPat · 04-27-2013, 03:14 AM

Upgraded to sport brakes (all fresh rebuild) with stop tech d/s rotors.

Did the brake bleeding, RR,LR, FR & FL.

Took out a few bubbles, still a soft pedal. Did this procedure 4 times, and all rears are good, front would have a bubble and still soft pedal.

Push down slightly, release and then push again...it feels okay.

but the first initial push, it's soft....half way down then it grips.

Any suggestions? Took a 30 min ride home, calipers are not hot, rotors are obviously hot to the touch and didn't seem like any leaks.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
