Bled new Wilwood brakes but still spongy pedal
jimandemma:
Ah, ok. See what happens with SR Performance next week and I'll let them know.
Shane Finn:
Any updates for us? I would love to know the cause of your issues.
jimandemma:
Sorry guys, away with work. Bedded the brakes in again, gravity bled the system, found a bit of weeping at the hose connections to the calipers, 0.020" gaps at the piston to pads which, after bedding in, starting to close up with the piston seals getting some use. Also raised the brake pedal at the booster 14mm. I honestly think the problem was not bedding in the brakes and then re-bleeding, as every time the pedal was getting better. Then dynoed at 254RWHP with 375 ftlbs of torque. Happy again.
