Hey all,
So i just recently installed a used WP Pro BBK on my car as well as a SoS ABS upgrade kit since my abs pump was bad, so i ran all new lines, as well as a new master cylinder. However, my pedal seems to not engage until very far down the first push when driving and i have to let it up and pump again to get any good pressure and breakage. I bench bled my new master in the center port as well as cycling the front and rear ports back into the reservoir and pumped the cylinder multiple times. I also two person bled the brakes 3 times and have absolutely no bubbles. I also adjusted the rod and pedal length down a little which helped slightly but not too much. I've only drove the car a little bit on the road, but today i noticed what looked like fluid on my right rear caliper outboard bleeder screw around the threads and also on the top of the caliper. If it is indeed leaking, could this be my issue, if so, how do i fix it and if not what else could be my problem? I did read somewhere that a guy had a soft pedal and had a bad proportioning valve?
What i changed:
-stock brakes to Wppro 6 pot
-stainless lines
-new MC
-02+ ABS upgrade
-bench bled MC, and bled brakes the old fashioned way with 4 qts of Motul 600.
This is my first BBK and i've never really had any brake problems on any of my cars so thanks in advance.
