Re: civic brake calipers

anytime you replace your calipers (or remove your brake hose), you introduce air into your brake system; which results in spongy pedal feel

did you bleed your brakes after you replaced the calipers, pads & rotors?

if not, pick up some brake fluid, follow bleed sequence listed below. keep your eye on the master cylinder, don't let it go dry & keep it filled w/ brake fluid

Bleed the brakes Right Rear, Left Front, Left Rear, Right Front. You do not go farthest to closest with Hondas.

Always bench bleed the Master cylinder when replacing the master cylinder, ABS unit, or proportioning valve.
