Brake problems...help...
i've got a Ej8 and for the past 3 weeks everytime i brake, just when i'm almost at a full stop i hear this clicking noise. it doesn't click when i turn or steer the car...it only clicks when i'm braking and almost at a full stop. It also starts clicking when i'm on the freeway and i have to instantly hit the breaks semi hard...i checked it out the brakes and everything seems fine. I unbolted the clapers and rotors and bolted it all back up...and nothing...its just coming from the front driver side. Also i had a question about bleeding my brakes. I just did a rear disc conversion off a 94 gsr and bleeded the rear brakes only, now do i have to bleed all 4 corners or just bleeding the rears is okay? my brake feel didn't get stiffer but it got softer? is it becuz i didnt put in the integra master cylinder and booster? i drove my little bros EM1 and it was alot stiffer than mines, also it braked alot better. help a HT bro out guys thx...

bleed the ENTIRE system if you changed out ANYTHING but just the rears...which you should have done. Also, bleeding a MC and PV is a little more labor intensive than just bleeding rears...the entire line has to be bled.
I usually just blow the lines out with compressed air and then bleed so I have all new fluid anyway...that way you know none of your fluid is like 100K+ miles OR there's any bubbles. fluid is only like $5 per 14oz.....
the clicking us probably one of two things.
1. your pads are worn down to the scrapers
2. the dust shield/backing on one of the wheels is cracked or broken or warped from you goofing with other stuff and its rubbing.
probably sounds more like a light "cick cick cick" noise if I had to bet. I've heard this type of noise soooo often from dust shields.....
