se-rsrule 07-19-2002, 08:22 PM i just bought a 95 200sx se-r and for some reason the brakes seem spongy - the car has new front pads and i checked brake fluid - the pedal goes way down toward floor - anyone have ideas - could it be air in the lines? any ideas would be appreciated - thks ron Its311Pete 07-19-2002, 11:36 PM the pedal goes way down toward floor - anyone have ideas - could it be air in the lines? any ideas would be appreciated - thks ron Yes bleed the brakes. Air in brake lines will give a spongy pedal. Chrissy 07-20-2002, 12:39 AM Lots of air in the lines. That's what my brakes felt like after I bled them. MaddMatt 07-20-2002, 01:05 AM Do the cheap things first: Give it a good bleed. If that doesn't do it, perhaps master cylinder (that's not so cheap) se-rsrule 07-20-2002, 02:52 AM yeah, thanks for the advice - i'll bleed the brakes - ron sr20ser 07-20-2002, 05:04 PM If the above fixes dont work, try some new brake lines. Get some SS lines. The stock ones may be flexing (expanding) too much, and thus causing "spongy" pedal feel. Get new stock ones or the stainless ones, they increased my pedal feel 10 fold. MadManMagee 07-21-2002, 12:28 AM Bleed them, I had the exact same thing happen, so I changed the brake pads and bled the brakes then put in some castrol synthetic brake fluid, vast improvement with the brake pedal!:D | ||
