Fluid is topped off, we were careful not to drop below the minimum line. I do not have an ABS light on, however like i said I didn't follow that order. The mushy brakes started the day after the install, and the car only has 18k miles on it, so i don't think the brake lines are faded. I've bled them twice now, but is there a reason that doing them in a different order might fix the issue? I don't understand why that matters.

Just make sure you bleed all the bleeders. I have the same issue when I installed my brembo brakes. I didn't know there were 2 bleeders for each brembo caliper (surprise!) for a total of 4 bleeders just for the front!

After I bled all 6 bleeders including rear (and I started with the caliper farthest from the master brake cyclinder), everything went well.

Yea, the cragars have 3 bleeders per caliper, so doing the fronts takes a little longer, but i'm pretty sure we got all of them up front. There is only one on the stock calipers in the rear right?
