hi guys,
i was wondering about who has these stoptech stainless steel lines installed in their s2000. i would like to know the feel after the installation.

my dad and i just installed them on my s2000 and for some reason the brake feels mushier than when i had the OEMs.

TIA
shotiable

 

feels mushy because you didn't bleed all the air out of the brake system

 

i did bleed them individually till there was constant flow of fluid

 

If it's mushy their is still air in the sysrem, try gravity bleeding( just take the cap off the master cyl and open one caliper bleeder at a time let it drip for about 10 mins then close it and move on to the next......

 

sometimes brake changes need a day, or a heat cycle to really "bed in" i noticed that when i changed fluids from regular dot4 to motul RBF 6000. the first step on teh brakes felt worse than the old fluid but about 3 days later it was a way different pedal feel

 

You can't bleed brakes that way. That is how you get air into the system.

 

you're probably not doing it correctly, describe your procedure to bleed the brakes

 

you do all know that bleeding is bleeding right? even if you dont criss cross you just ahve to put more fluid through the system.

and that the order doesnt really matter? they just gotta tell you something.

front left, back right back left, front right ect all arbitrary

 

my dad pumps the brakes and then holds it firm while i untorque the bleedy thingy and quickly close it. repeat procedure about 3-4 times and make sure the fluid flows evenly... am i not doing this right?

 

not really, you should apply pressure to the pedal, open the bleeder screw, and pump the brakes untill the MC gets low. be sure not to let the pedal hit the bottom of the stroke or the top. when the fluid needs to be topped off, slowly depress the pedal as someone tightens the bleeder. then slowly let off the brakes. top off fluid, repeat.
