Default Brake Problem

So I installed my new eibach sportline kit and in order to get at the springs i had to bleed the brakes. I had 3 different type of spring compressors and none would fit/work so this is what i had to do. Now it seems like i have to push down on the pedal more to get the stiffness i had before when i would only apply a little bit of pressure.. follow my drift? any thoughts on what this could be. I re-bled the breaks numerous times to get all the air out but is it possible their could still be some left?? let me know. i took it for a ride and the breaks work fine i just have to push harder....

It sounds like you might have a little bit of air in the system, it feels slightly spongy at the top then it gets hard?
Try bleeding them again but bleed the farthest away from the master first and work your way around.

FWIW you didn't have to disco thebrake linesto begin with, you just needed to remove it from the bracket and hang up out of the way. i think you shoud try bleeding them again too, i had bleed mine a few times before i got a solid pedal.
