Screens, feel better man
So I left my car at the shop yesterday to get my Stainless Steel brake lines installed. Got it back and it f sucks. The paddle is sooo mushy, and I almost died on 95. Now when I step on it, instead of being a firm and consistent pedal firmness like the SS lines are supposed to provide, it just slowly presses all the way down with pretty much no braking until the last second.
He re-bled but it still sucks. Now he is trying to say that the master cylinder needs to be replaced. BS, cuz he did my whole brake job two weeks ago (new rotors and pads, but forgot to add the lines), and there was no issue.
Now I don't know if it's the lines (bought them used) or the install. I will confront the guy later today and see what the deal is.
Called Danny yesterday and he said that it is most likely sheetay install job. So I trust whatever he says, and I'll be threating to burn this guy's shop down.
Updates to follow.

I know it's crazy I hit the brakes and the car swerves left. I kinda like it, it's an adrenaline rush every time.
If I don't post again, I'm most likely dead. Tian, if that's the case I can't make it to happy hour today, I'm sorry about that.

Update:
Shop re-bled the brakes, and the brakes are awesome now. Danny was right, they hadn't opened the inner bleed valve (Brembos have two valves, reg. calipers have one). Thanks D!
