Brake Lines Flushed-Still soft pedal??

I just had my brake lines flushed and refilled for the fear of having air in my lines.

When I hit my brakes I expect them to be 'grabby' but they aren't. They slow my G down well enough to obviously stop the car...but if i slam them they fade me to a stop...its a very soft brake.

If I needed them in an emergency situation I'm afraid they wouldn't be enough.

There is no air in the line, my pads are relatively new rear calipers/rotors/pads are all under 4 months old and shouldn't need replacing. What else could be the problem??

We've had a long-running thread on this with no solution.

did you flush the brakes yourself?

Sounds like there's a small bubble still trapped somewhere.

No I didn't. It's the second time I had a complete flush.

Here you go. However, I think your issue is worse than the general problem being discussed in this thread. I don't remember anyone concerned about their brakes being too soft to stop.
