just finished installing new drilled and slotted rotors all the way around and i ended up going with hawk pads. I bled the brakes like you would normally on most cars and took it for a drive and it seems to be a little stiff, is this normal for these cars? If not am i missing a step?

 

i believe with these cars because of the abs you have to do it a certian way..not like most cars where your start with the farthest wheel from the master and work your way forward.

 

I did mine like that^^^^ when i put my rotors on . I have cross drilled rotors and mine also seems stiff , but i figured once the abs inop light was out the system is bleed and working . i have put about 500 miles on the car and i have no braking issues .

 

As long as the ABS had not been engaged before you did your bleeding, you can do it the normal way. I have had great results using a vacuum tool (like a MityVac) to do one-man bleeding.

 

i looked up the mityvac and i couldnt find a dealer for it....i found the vac itself, you have a place youd recommend to buy one?

 

Does it make a difference on how to bleed it if you no longer have the abs?

 

Just about every auto place sells it or something similar (even Sears).

 

I just did mine the regular way and its all good.

 

gotcha.....many many thanx shbox

 

Watch out for the drilled part of the rotor, if it is near the edge of the rotor they are prone to crack all the way out! I know from experience

 

these are not drilled straight through they are also countersunk at the front and back, so im hoping i dont run into that problem
