You sold the 5 lug conversion cause you didn't feel like buying axles and limited wheel choice? What is so hard about buying axles and wheel choice is almost the same.. You cant use standard OEM si wheels, gsr wheels, etc... IMHO it probally wasn't worth the labor of swapping the stuff out.. I would of kept the 5 lug, but whatever.. to each is own

What bleeding procedure are you using?

You might haft to bleed the ABS.

You most likely have air to the master cylinder.

Are you pumping the brakes before opening the bleeder?

Is the master cyl ok? try bleeding the abs...Have you checked for leaks? If you put a hole in one of lines that would do it as well..

stop pumping the brakes
look up a faq on brake bleeding
pumping aerates the fluid and goes against what you are trying to achieve
steady pressure down on the pedal as someone cracks open the bleeders, closing them as the pedal reaches the floor...really goes much better with 2 people
