4644, Brakes Posted by 1TuffRS, Oct-16-01 01:07 PM For a little background, my pedal felt like mush after some "enthusiastic" driving, and I posted on here and you guys told me to bleed my brakes. Well I did that and it worked great for almost 3 wks and now the pedal is starting to go soft again. Anybody know whats wrong???? My car is still under warranty will this shit be covered by satan?? | |

4645, RE: Brakes Posted by klipzracer, Oct-16-01 01:10 PM sounds like you're geting brake happy and making your fluid heat up to hellish temps. just STOP GOING SO F@#KIN FAST!!!!! :) | |

4646, RE: Brakes Posted by 1TuffRS, Oct-16-01 01:16 PM Dammit I just cant help it, but I dont think I am going that fast. Would upgrading the brake lines help??? Is there a brake fluid out there that wont heat up so damn quickly?? | |

4647, RE: Brakes Posted by klipzracer, Oct-16-01 01:21 PM yeah....if they made a freakin Dot 45! hehehehe | |

4648, RE: Brakes Posted by JasonESi_T, Oct-16-01 01:34 PM Think about getting better brakes and stainless steel brake lines. Merely employing a thicker brake fluid isn't your answer. | |

4649, RE: Brakes Posted by Super20G, Oct-16-01 01:46 PM Get the Stillen 4 piston big brake upgrade, its sweet as hell, no more brake fade! They have hugh slotted and cross drilled rotors with 4 piston calipers and stainless steel lines. If you want to work the back brakes over too, get the Stillen cross drilled rotors and stainless steel lines and get better pads... I have had great success with them. | |

4650, RE: Brakes Posted by 1TuffRS, Oct-17-01 10:08 AM I think it may be more serious than brake fluid though. I drove my dad's honda civic (LX) yesterday and it braked harder than I can in my Eclipse. I think it was a gradual thing, but something has to be wrong | |

4651, RE: Brakes Posted by soldier101, Oct-17-01 10:12 AM You must drive like my mom, fly up on shit then hit the brakes really hard, cause my mom has a 2000 jeep cherokee and her brakes have already done that once. | |
|
4652, RE: Brakes Posted by 1TuffRS, Oct-17-01 10:50 AM Nope I actually brake pretty early for everything since I warped my rotors and had to get up off of 100 bucks to fix it | |

4653, RE: Brakes Posted by 1TuffRS, Oct-17-01 01:43 PM Any ideas?? | |

4654, RE: Brakes Posted by 99GS, Oct-17-01 01:49 PM While you are at a stop light (stop sign) do you notice that the pedal is firm at first, but softens as you sit there? It could be your master cylinder. | |

4655, RE: Brakes Posted by 1TuffRS, Oct-17-01 02:44 PM Yeah, thats exactly how it is. Is this thing covered by the warranty??? | |

4656, RE: Brakes Posted by 99GS, Oct-18-01 12:29 AM Not sure if it is covered by warranty, but they run around $50. | |
