That new car brake feel.....
#2
Flush the lines and replace with fresh fluid and consider replacing the soft lines.

-2 x rear calipers

-2 x rear pads
-2 x front rotors
-2 x front pads

Buddy works at ford as a tech and he bled the brakes for me all 4 corners.

I drive and, you just don't get that "new car" brake feeling... the super responsive brake pedal. Is there ANY way to get that back? New brake booster? I've even got the steel braided brake lines and using DOT4 in the car.

Thoughts??
