Problem with the brakes...
Long story short, I replaced my rotors last night with the Rotorpros. Problem being is that now when I press on the brakes, the brake pretty much falls to the floor. It still brakes but the brake pedal still falls to the floor. Would pumping the brake for a bit fix this? My ebrake does the same kind of this now aswell because when I pull it slightly, it woobles a bit and than clicks in on the first latch.
Any tips?

I just remembered something. Since I'm an idiot, I believe I release the brake or ABS fluid in the rear of the car thinking I could remove the ABS and get more clearance for the rear end, some fluid came out. How could I check if I have enough of that? Is it the same as checking for brake fluid? Yes, I'm an idiot.
check your brake fluid resevoir and if it is not full fill it! than as you are backing out of a driveway (slowly) pump the brakes in reverse. Now if just changing the rotors and the pads have some wear why would you bleed the brakes again?.....anyway low pedal feel or lack thereof means the brake fluid is not pressurized properly most likely from not bleeding the lines right or not tightening the lines you drained properly and the fluid will just come out of the loose fittings. Let us know what happens and if the problem was solved and what you thought was wrong and DO NOT drive the car on public roads until it is fixed and have great pedal pressure! J
I slowly backed it out of my driveway and the brakes work, BUT only when the pedal is all the way down. It's very loose though. The brake reservior is completely full aswell.
Bleed the brakes properly using 2 people, one to pump the brakes until a steady stream comes out and the other to tighten the fitting making sure you have fluid in the resevoir or you will be sucking air into the brake lines from lack of fluid in the resevoir....
great idea so do you have more brake fluid handy and a pair of extra hands to help ....get er done! J
