do your pccbs act like this ?
Guys,
im trying to figure out if i have air in my brake lines or if this is normal..
so i was driving home from philly tonight and played with a camaro. (pretty fast car)
we had a few bursts and on the final one i got to 130ish and was hard on the brakes. they didnt bite hard..i had to push the pedal down hard to slow down. it felt like fade but ccb's arent supposed to fade.
im being told that ccb's bite hard initially then go soft and then go hard once theres heat in them. is that true ?
the explanation was that the initial bite we feel is from the carbon deposit on the pads themselves, and then they go soft because the rotors need to get some heat in them to be grabby.

or do i just have air in my system ?
it was 9 degrees btw.

not yet experienced some sort of fade.
they should bite instantly imo.
cheers,

i changed the fluid and the pads in june 2013. i bled the brakes manually as i couldnt get the durametric to do it.
super blue ate brake fluid.

the last time we flushed it, i sat in the car, pumped the brakes... we started from one side of the rear and worked our way according to how prosche does it.. there were no air bubbles coming out of the lines once we were done... but i think it might be in the secondary reservior
i dont know what a power flush is, but im assuming we didnt use it... just pumped it out manually.
