Ok, so now so far I've replaced all 4 calipers, rotors on the back, and pads all the way around.

My pedal feels awesome when I pump it up with the car not running, but as soon as I do, it goes down almost all the way. It's still above the gas pedal, but is much lower than it was when I first started my brakes.

I can still stop on a dime, I just have to push the pedal pretty far down. I found that while coming to a stop, I can pretty much pump the brakes, and the "engage" on the pedal kinda of goes back to normal.

I'm not familiar with the Hydroboost setup. I'm told it has something to do with the power steering? I'm just trying to troubleshoot wtf is going on. A Master would give me a low pedal even with the car off wouldnt it?

you should not have to touch the power steering.

did you bleed all the calipers and the master cylinder? cause when i did mine
i had the same issue till i bled the master and then it was fine

When we put the front calipers and pads on yesterday, he powerbled them with a bleeder you hook up to a compressor. Maybe ill try doing it by hand today.

I would do it manually. I have worked on a couple of cars before that did not like the Compressor way.

you could also have a bad master cylinder

Gonna try to bleed it again on Tues morning. If that doesnt work, gonna put a new master in. Any advice or things to look out for with the master?

And you bleed the master at the bleeder screws right? Not at the lines?

And which order do I bleed from? Front master bleeder, rear master bleeder, then the calipers starting from the farthest one?

i think if u stop playing Halo 3 the problem with correct itself.

Had my buddy come over and we bled it for an hour straight. Started at the master then did the calipers in the usual order from farthest to closest.

The pedal is so sensitive, barely touching it starts to brake my car. It feels awesome!

And I'm very glad it wasn't my master.

Did you bleed the master at the lines? Like the 2 lines going in the side?

Bleed all four brakes then bleed a master cylinder to getr the pedal up where its suppose to be.
