I recently put new brakes and rotors on my eg si. In the past the pedal felt low, so I installed new brakes and rotors and its doing the samething. I bled the brakes with my friend in the order you are suppose to but my pedal is still low.
could this be my master cylinder going bad? And also I can hear the rotors against the brakes pads when i am coming to a stop.

 

might be still air in the lines

might have a leak in the lines

or master is bad

 

I can hear my brakes really loud too but I just assumed it was because my interior is stripped out

 

i bled the brakes like 5 times already but still the same thing. i just serch around and i think it might be the master cylinder. as for the noise i hear from the brakes will driving, i can not figure it out. if i lift my car, the wheels spin freely with no noise. could it be my hub bearings? i shaked both wheels and they are nice and stiff.

i have full interior, we might have the same problem

 

master cylinder seals are prolly bad, it sounds like you have no pressure. It wouldnt suprise me if your master cylinder is inoperative.

i am also thinking that is the reason i hear the brakes rub on the rotors.

 

anyone else have or had this problem?

 

i had the rubbing noise once. i accidentally bent the metal cover on the inside of the rotor while renchin on my caliper. it was bent in and rubbed while i was driving... ? just a thought

 

You have new pads and rotors, that rubbing sound is pretty normal with new brakes. I had it when I got mine and it has since gone away.

The pedal problem could be a number of things. Bleed your brakes a couple more times and make sure that the brake fluid NEVER gets anywhere close to being empty. If that doesn't do anything, I'd say it's the master cylinder.

 

thanx for the help guys! i wll be putting a master cylinder on today. lets see what happens.

 

One of my calipers is locked up...
