Brake bleeding question
#16
Three Wheelin'
I had this problem when I bled my brakes as well. Backs bled fine, then the front right just trickled, front left seemed fairly normal by comparison. I have a little slack in my pedal that I assumed was just worn front rotors (pretty sure they might be the originals...) until I saw this thread.

To conclude this thread, new brake lines fixed the drip drip problem, now have full flow. The squirmy dance I was feeling under hard braking is gone, I had thought wheel alignment was the problem, 1 brake doing most of the work was the cause.

Guess new lines went to the top of my list, nothing scares me more than brake issues. May as well bite the bullet on new rotors for the front as well since they're worn well below tolerance. Gotta love how easy it is to **** away $300 on this cars.
Has anyone ever swapped over to corvette brakes on the 944? $50 disks and you can buy them at Napa, you can find them cheaper online. A set of NEW C5 Z06 calipers are (make sure you're sitting down)... <$400 for all 4 wheels.
