spongy brakes still..

[Alex J]

ive put new pads in, and rear shoes etc but even after a bleed up they are still spongy, ive done my track day but im sure they are ment to be better than they are , im running high specs up front , im running a gte master and servo, is there any way a mk2 astra gte master cylinder will go on my servo , or are nove brakes always this ****, it stops fine from 130mph but jut to much travel in pedal ... cheers :confused:

Rear cylinders OK? (as in not leaking)

[Jonesfach]

What calipers are you running? Disc size? Standard drums?

[mowgli]

you need to adjust up your rear shoes, then pressure bleed it all through about 4 times..

You can use a early Astra gte non abs. The mc will fit the servo you'll just need to make new brake lines. (they they are swapped around)
THey have a 2mm bigger bore so more fuild will move so should be better.

What brake fluid are you using?

[millworm]

Decent pads and fluid especially with all these track days you do mate

I had this problem on my rally car ! solved it by backing the handbrake full off, on the adjuster at the rear axle then adjusting/set the rear brakes up to the drum and then resetting/adjusting the hand brake, it worked spongy brakes gone.

Pushing all that fluid into the low specs won't be helping with pedal 'feel'
