ok so i put on my fbody brakes today....when i put them on i installed them with the banjo bolt toward the top for more brake line....well this put the bleeder on the bottom of the caliper.....i was bleeding them all day couldnt figure out why my pedal was spongy....then all the sudden im looking at it and i say to myself now how the fukk is the air gonna come out the bottom if it wants to go up....:th_scratchhead::th_doh::th_laugh-lol2:....flipped them around and bled them pedal is firm as hell now... had to bend the brake line bracket around a bit but nothing to bad...it had to be adjusted so that when the wheel was turned all the way in the line didnt rub on the tire its kind of close but i should be alright....just thought i would share my idioticness with you guys :th_thumbsup-wink:
 




i tried to look for a fail smiley but couldnt find any....i think you get my point

lmao...everyone has stupid moments, just not everyone advertises them like i do....i just find it funny when you actually have to say wow i was a dumbass today haha
 


hey at least you fixed the problem and didnt have to pay someone to fix it for you


welllllll actually it gets worse i paid ntb 50$ to flush and bleed and they couldnt figure it out either so i brought it back.....and i noticed it :th_laugh-lol3: but the car did have 100+k on it so a brake flush didnt hurt and i woulda never had enough motivation to flush the whole system like they did....so i guess i didnt really lose out...
 


so. did u go w/ drilled or slotted rotors then? or are they oem f body brakes?

pics up later....i went with standard rotors and cmax ceramic pads....im gonna get black zinc coated rotors later down the line these went on with a budget :)....gonna have mini hook me up with some powdercoated grand aluminum rear calipers and brackets :) these made my painted rears look like shyt...

btw mini is a good guy people....

2 fbody calipers...powdercoated calipers and brackets pretapped and fresh rebuild ready to bolt on for 100 shipped.....simply awesome
