I have never had to bleed brakes with the engine running. Really freakin' weird if you ask me. Oh well live and learn. Gino thanks for chiming in. I will do that next time. On a side note I'm certain that after a week or so I am going to bleed them down again. They feel pretty good right now. I still think there could be room for improvement. Cool part is; Midas has their name on the repair so I can get to bleed done for free. Wooooooooot!!! There is certainly a noticeable amount of unsprung weight with this upgrade. The additional brake torque make it worth it; very little pedal pressure for massive amounts of stopping power, and a 60-10 and 80-10 that knocked my sox off. This is on stock pads. I am going to order a set of bobcats pretty soon. That should be pretty dope, I think.
Laterz,
Jeff

The order is: passenger front, driver rear, passenger rear, driver front.
Notice that you went: pass front, drive rear, drive front, pass rear. It should be the way I posted. Try it again in that fashion, this is out of a text book by the way. Sorry you are having so much trouble with your brakes. After we bled the brakes in the right order (which is the second time we did it) they were rock solid.

If my dumb a$$ can figure out how to scan the page and post it up I’ll do so.
