#12471, "Not Happy with the GSX brakes,,problem"


          

So I slapped on these GSX brakes and I supposively had a problem with air in the system after 'self bleeding' the front calipers. My pedal is way soft and I had to press it at least half way down to get any response. So then I have my friend help me bleed my brakes, 5 pumps on each side - it worked...a little. The pedal still feels soft and I have to push it at least 1/4 of the way to get any response. Meaning I can't just tap the brakes to slow the car down like it should. Question now is do I bleed the front calipers again for air, bleed the whole system or just be satisfied that my stock brakes were better. Please help out..thanks
