Default brake help!

i finished doing whole brake change
brembo's drilled/slotted (front and rear)
factory honda pads (front and rear)
bleed (front and rear)
did the master cylinder about a month ago
the brakes still feel a lil spungy...
it goes about half way then starts to grab

could it be the booster? or maybee even the lines?
what should i try next? TIA

Did you bleed the master cylinder? When you did the swap, did you let the fruid drain out? If so, you'll have to bleed the M/C again. Do you know how to do it?

OK, you'll have to take it off again. I know, you don't want to but, you have to. When you get it off, just the master cylinder, you hold it in one hand and with two fingers cover up the brake line holes. Fill it up with fluid, after that, use your other hand to push the the rod into it. While you do that, you'll uncover the holes so the fluid can come out. You keep doing that until you get a stream of fluid coming out. "DON'T" let the get no lower than half way in the master cylinder. It takes time, so get ready for some fun. Hope this helps you guys. If you need anything else, e-mail me or IM me @ nd_4_spd55@hotmail.com . Later. . . .
