Bled new Wilwood brakes but still spongy pedal
jimandemma:
Yeah, after 2 months of trying, had to call it. Frustrating for a problem solver to not solve the problem.
jimandemma:
Well, put the wheels on yesterday afternoon after adjusting the handbrake. Off the jacks and a couple of to and fro's in the garage to see what little braking effort I had. Brakes effective enough an inch off the floor. Hand brake was good, so took the car for a drive to bed the pads in. Pedal slowly getting better as the bedding procedure went on. Still spongy, but a better feel now. Still going to take the car down to Sydney Saturday to get it looked at, but appears to be getting better. Reckon it needs another bleed, but I'm over bleeding now, time for someone else to have a go.

bfit:
just a thought .
did you fit Residual Pressure Valves

jimandemma:
I did not fit Residual Pressure Valves as the Master is higher than the caliper pistons
bfit:
they are advertised for that purpose however they help with knock back problems and also bleeding the system.
