Mushy brake pedal Just had a set of Power Slot rotors, polished calipers, braided steel brake lines and Hawks pads put on my 99 Firehawk. Looks great but now I have to press the brake pedal almost to the floor to get the brakes to work. The lines were bled and the shop that did the work said the brakes need to seat completely and then the pedal will be back to normal. Doesn't sound right. Any ideas? Please let me know. Thanks.

I don't buy that line about the brakes seating to bring back a firm pedal. This system was not properly bled. Sometimes you have to run quite a bit of fluid through there if a bubble gets trapped somewhere, and they may not have wanted to spend the time necessary to do it.
