I cant get any pedal pressure like i had before i started this brake job.

Replaced all 4 rotors and pads and bled them well.
Couldnt get barely pedal pressure so i changed the MC.
Very little difference in pressure with full bleeding of the system

What the hell could be wrong?

 

brake line prob busted and its leaking somewhere did you check all the lines

 

just replaced all the lines with SS lines not too long ago but will check tonight......

i have some pedal pressure but its very slight

 

WHen yiou replaced the MC did you cycle the pedal till you removed all the bubbles from the fluid?

You have to do this *before* you connect it up to the brake lines.

Have you called the shop and asked them?

 

yea i told him yesterday it wasnt to my satisfaction. he said he checked everything and couldnt get it any better

 

Sounds like it's time to take it somewhere else....

 

what do you mean pedal pressure??? you mean theres no resistance in the pedal, it goes to the floor, or goes way lower than it should before you get any resistance.

GUESSING is retarded.

i push the pedal about halfway to the floor before i get any pad contact to the rotor to slow the car down.

before i replaced the MC it would go completly to the floor before i got anything.

 

It's air in the system.

 

im going to rebleed them even though i dont think there is any air in the system.

check all the slides on all 4 calipers, its either a stuck slide not letting the caliper(s) move easily, or a pad is cocked. recheck the brake job.

see if you can pump the pedal quickly and make the pedal feel better, also apply the parking brake and see if it makes a differance.
