EBC rotors.

Voice59 · 07-23-2013, 01:57 PM

I just got mine done today. EBC Rotors, Z1 SS brake lines, and red stuff pads, along with motul 5.1 fluid. I dunno but it feels like the pedal is a lot softer. I watched them bleed the lines, so I on't know what it could be. Any ideas?

Is 5.1 the silicone based stuff? If so, it's squishier and you shouldn't be using it for a whole list of reasons. If it's not, then they're not done bleeding the brakes.

Synthetic, yes but not silicone.

Motul - All Products - DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid

I had it confused with DOT 5, which is silicone based. In that case, it's just air in the lines.

So I just have to further bleed the lines?
