just install SS brake lines, questions
I bleed the whole system, new fluid, and of course changed the lines. Now my brakes feel really really long travel distance, the pedal travel distance increase by so much. I just install the LHT mc brace too, but still the travel distance is much longer then before, now is this normal??? like I first hit the pedal, little braking, then as the further I go, obviously more, but the distance is so long now. Can anyone explain to me if this is the normal way? or could be air bubbles still in line??
After you do the lines.. it will take DAYS of bleeding!!
One hint.. Tap the calipers with a rubber hammer once in a while during bleeding... that will get some stuck bubbles out.
Once you think you are done... do it more... hehe

I do not suggest Speed bleeders.. they leak more times than not.
Just keep adding new, clean fluid as you bleed some out.
Make sure you do not let the reservior(sp?) get too low, or you will suck in more air, making it another day of bleeding.

first let it gravity bleed, then start with the r/r , l/f, l/r, then l/f . make sure no air pockets. check your master for leaks including lines. dont want to over tighten crush washers either.

That's exactly what Acura told me to do as well.
