I have just basically finished a break up grade to my car. I have GSR front spindles, itr rotors, and 95 4-door Legand calipers. In the rear I have 99 civic si breaks and a GSR and master cylinder. i am having some problems with the pedal pressure though. I have bleed the breaks a lot and the pedal fells fine until you start up the car and then it goes almost to the floor. when i drive it the breaks ingage but not until the pedal is pressed all the way in. Now a friend of mine has told me to turn the wing nut which is supposed to adjust the pedal pressure (this is what he calls it and has told me, im not really sure what it is called though), which is the fork like thing on the back of the booster that attatches to the brake pedal it self. im not adjusting the pedal position b/c i know how to do that and thats not what im doing. the pice just spins inside of the booster but i have done it a bunch of times and its not doing a damn thing. i am beginning to think he is wrong but he has said this is what he did to his race car so... I have gone around all 4 sides and tightend up the ss lines again and still the same. my front bleeder valves slowly leak break fluid and they are tight as crap. I was thinking i should replace them b/c that could be one issue but i wouldnt think that was the complete problem b/c its not a lot of fluid.

first problem is that its BRAKE... not break.

 

w/e dude im in a hurry to finish this car but u correcting me still doesn't help me with my BRAKE problem. do u have any ideas?

 

i would try bleeding them again, go in this order: rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver. other than that, i have no idea

 

Unless the master is no good or the booster and vacumme line is bad

 

first fix leak on the front bleeder valve, then rebleed in and x pattern rr,lf,lr,rf. sounded like you still have some air in the system.

 

Unless the master is no good or the booster and vacumme line is bad

And how can u test that to actually know for sure if that is the problem?

 

what about the "wing nut" thing. is that wrong?

 

did you change your propvalve?? i would bleed it again.
