Trouble bleeding brakes (still spongy)

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Well we did them, to me they still feel a bit spongy, but they should be good to go. It wouldn't really matter if they're not 100% for the brake test, it's still going to stand the car on its nose

New pads and discs too remember, that always seems to cause a slight feeling of spongeyness in my recollection.

Old pads, new discs.
Pads have done 18months use.

Rotated the calipers vertical and bled them normally. He's getting new brackets which will mount them normally anyway.

Shouldn't matter at idle though sitting on jackstands

[takai]

True, point taken, i was thinking you were doing a rolling test.

[CrUZida]

New adaptors and lines are on.
Brakes bleed up perfectly funnily enough...

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Funny about that

[takai]

Mmm look sexy.

good stuff mate..

though can i ask why you ditched the R32 setup for the R33? its not like the caliper is able to cover the extra disc space you have now...

cheers

It wasn't a case of not wanting to do it right in the first place, it was a case of not knowing that I did it wrong
