Soft brake pedal after pad and rotor change
Soft brake pedal after pad and rotor change
Hi All,
I replaced my rotors and pads for the my C2S. I glazed my stock pads at the track at the end of last year. I am trying the Carbotechs 1521 for the street this time. I have had good luck with this pad on my other cars. The pad does not create a lot of dust and has good bite. However, my pedal was real soft after installing the rotor and pads. I tried bedding the pads and while doing my 60-20 mph stops the pedal went almost to the floor. I then decided to bleed my brakes. I went through at least a 1/2 liter of fluid and saw only a few little bubbles from the front calipers. The pedal is still soft after bleeding. Is there air trapped in the ABS module or somewhere else? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Anthony

the best procedure is to not install new pads and rotors at the same time..it is better to replace pads with used rotors or replace rotors with used pads...but that being said...you need to bed the pads in properly but I don't know if that is why you have soft pedal..you should check the website of the pad manufacurer for proper bedding procedure..if the pedal is still soft after you bed the pads then you better have the system looked at...
