I need to do something to the brakes on the GSX. when I was on leave I noticed that they just feel a little squishy at first on the pedal. once you get into the padal a little bit it becomes firmer again.
does it just need a fresh bleed, or does it need something more. I am running: stock (absolute factory I think) calipers Powerstop slotted rotors Bendix CT3 Ceramic Pads stock brake booster and it is a '93 so it should have the bigger of the 1G brakes from the factory, right? BTW... car has a little over 100,000 on it. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

QUOTE (spyonu2007 @ Sep 23 2005, 08:00 PM) Going to take care of this over in the sandbox? no spy..... I will do this upon my return. Taxi - Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was looking at a new set of calipers or just a bleed and some new lines. I heard that sometimes braided lines have more chance at leaking at the fitting than standard rubber hoses. Is this truth or myth??? is there a stock replacement (dual or more) piston caliper out there for decent prices for the 1G DSM??? I don't want to go too overkill, cause I know that braking power past the point that you will lock up the wheels is pointless and most of the time counter productive. I am planning to duct some more air into the braking area to reduce fade. I figure that with a fresh bleed of high boil point stuff and some braided lines will do me just fine. A fresh coat of red paint will help the astetics while I have them off. is there a advantage to swaping out 100,000 + mile old calipers with fresh stock ones or would the difference be so minimal that I would be wasting time and money? -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
