Brake problem..

I just installed "stoptech" aero rotors, hawk pads and braided lines on my stock brembos..

Went and bleeded the brake system 4 times each cal.. why does the brake peddle still go all the way down felling like I have no brakes??

I noticed on the brembo cals.. they have two bleed off values.. but I only bleeded one on each.. is this the cause of me still having air in my system?

Yeah, try both sides and make sure you don't run out of brake fluid in the reservoir while bleeding.

It might take more than 4 times if necessary. You can also try the rear if you upgraded those as well.

From experience, try it with the engine running. Vibrations from the engine really gets the air bubbles moving. Just make sure your car is properly supported...jacks stands/lifts/etc.

Bleed the inside first, then the outside.

Get a Mighty Vac hand pump from the auto parts store and it's easy. You don't need anyone to pump the brake pedal.
