Put on slotted rotors...bleed brakes?
Hey guys i put on some slotted stoptechs today on my 02 wrx
After the install the brake pedal is extremely mushy and it doesn't feel like the brakes actually catch till your almost to the ground...
The E-brake became really loose also but i tightened it and now its good again.
Im thinkin I just need to bleed my brakes.
yes..no? anything else i should check out?
Thanks,
Theo

Did you use new brake pads or did you just change the rotors? Did you clean and wash the new rotors before the install? New rotors usually have a coating of oil on them and can mess up the braking. From my experience new rotors should be always bedded it to the brake pads.
