Bled the brakes but...
This was my first time bleeding them after 5 years of owning the car...
After going through the process, I still don't have a firm pedal. The brakes are definitely better.. but not where i expected them to be. Thoughts? |

Keep bleeding. Farthest away to closest to the reservoir, try and never let the fluid get low. I've been in the same spot with a few cars myself and every time, it was because I hadn't bled all of the air out of them. When it's just fluid in the lines and a full reservoir, it'll be firm.

The correct bleeding sequence/order is;
1. Right Rear; Inner bleeder; Right Rear outer bleeder. 2. LF-Inner; LF-Outer. 3. LR-I; LR-O 4. RF-I; RF-O http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297428 |

Did you do it by yourself or with another person?

While I was doing the brake fluid swap (I switched to ATE super blue) I swapped the lines the SS at the same time and that helped a lot.
And as mentioned above, apparently for our car it's not furthest away to shortest, follow the procedure listed. Apparently the brake lines are routed goofy or something lol

have you done a full flush? brake fluid should be flushed every 2 years.
