My braking got worse after the install..it was softer, took more effort to stop and didn't really grip the rotors. It doesn't feel like it grabs the rotors and takes more pedal effort to make it stop - damn it sucks. I have reverted to getting some SS lines to see if it'll help

That is weird... I mean I would assume you have bled the hell out of them at this point, but that is what it sounds like to me. Even on my first drive they felt equal to stock brakes so they can only get better from here. You might take the car to a brake place that does free inspections and see if they see anything abnormal. Maybe they can give you some insight.

Did you get used calipers or did you get some refurbished ones? If they are used you might need to rebuild them, maybe they aren't sealing correctly or just not working properly. Something is obviously not right.

I got em off someone (98 GSX) and they were pretty rusted...how much is a rebuild kit? Is there a test to see if it is the calipers? Is it hard to rebuild em? Alvin

A rebuild mainly consist of replacing a rubber o-ring(s) and getting a new piston(s). Honestly though when it comes to brakes, and other items that ensure your safety I like to get brand new parts. I believe you can go to any parts store and give them your old GSX calipers as a core and you might can get some nice new ones. Otherwise they will be rebuild ones that have been cleaned up. Also check your local Mitsu or Chrysler dealers and see how much brand new ones are going for. Just some ideas.
