big brake problem please help
well today i put on my fastbrakes 11" kit with gsr calipers on my 93 cx hatch. blead the brakes and everything and got ready to drive it and had very little pedal pressure. the only way for me to get pressure is to pump the brake. after i pump it the car stops good. but it doesn't hold the pressure at all. i checked for leaks and everything and had none. would this be a master cylinder problem? if so which one do you guys think i should get?

make sure to run a 94-01gsr/ls/gs/rs/99-00si/92-95ex master cylinder on it also make sure you have a 30/30 or 30/40 or 40/40 proportioning valve...and about loosing pressure on the pedal go back and bleed some more...there are still pockets of air on the lines.

bleed your brakes again, there is probably still air in the lines. remember there is a certain order to bleed the brakes.

bleed with the car on... i was told it helps im not sure
just make sure you do not let air back in the lines, avoid accidently wiggling the bleederscrew before you tighten it. It only has to be loosened enough to allow fluid and air to escape thru the tip, you dont want any escaping past the threads of the bleederscrew!
good luck!

Re: big brake problem please help (Run Hatch)
the way to bleed brakes is to start bleeding the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder. and work towards it...So one back me up on this topic...
