i have 94+ integra brakes and i installed them on my 95 si hatchback. i changed the setup from the upper control arm to the lower tie rod. so i used my stock brake lines. but i have a big problem. after my brother and i did the whole brake conversion, my brakes don't hold resistance anymore. when my engine isn't running a little bit of pressure develops if i pump the brakes, but as soon as i turn the key the brake pedal drops to the floor. i mean completely and it isn't holding any pressure. please help me. i doubt it is because i used my stock brake lines because someone on here did the same brake conversion on his 92-95 cx hatchback and he said that he could notice the increased braking power. please let me know what we did wrong or why my brakes are not holding any resistance.

Bleed the brakes at all four corners. Do it 2 or 3 times and see how you like it then.

yeah that is what i think it is. because i did bleed teh system but i think i may have done it wrong. i started from the passenger rear then to the driver's front and then to the driver's rear and then to the passenger front. all i did was have someone watch the fluid level and she kept filling it to make sure the fluid didn't run out completely, then i had someone in the car to pump the brakes and all i did was loosen the bleed bolt and then have then pump it like five times then i tightened the bleed bolt again. how should i have done it?

thats the wrong way to bleed the brakes, i think it's right rear, left rear, right front, left front. or something like that, try to search for it, should have been covered before. good luck.

You're only supposed put the brake pedal down once when you have the bleeder bolt unscrewed, then tighten up the bolt and let off the brake. If you put the pedal in then let off you will let air into the line through the bleeder bolt and it will defeat the purpose of bleeding your brakes.
