So after 2 years of having crappy front brakes...warped rotors..sticking calipers it was time to stop. I did it with fox body rotors (because nobody has TC rotors and my abs doesnt work), stock Napa remanned calipers, fox body hoses, Napa pads. I also did rear pads for good measure.
So I went from a pedal that grabbed high but also stopped terrible and had a pretty aggressive vibration from the rotors. To a almost too easy pedal and grabs half way/closer to the bottom. I bleed all 4 corners but im wondering if I need to rebleed them. I don't really know what a spongy pedal feels like so its hard to tell. It almost feels like if I do a mini pump of the brakes before I go to stop for real it grabs higher/better.
The only other thing that was iffy was on the rears when I went to turn them in it was basically impossible without cracking the bleeders. Im not sure if that's normal or what with the electric brake booster. My key was off at the time. I bleed them by clicking on the key and pushing the pedal down not pumping.
