Fixed the mushy problem with my setup...91 300zx fronts only.
When I bled the rear lines, there was a lot of air trapped inside. I have about a 1/8 - 1/4" of mushiness, then it's firm. I absolutely love the setup...as for the price issue...be patient and shop local junkyards. I did my entire setup for less then $200.
91 300zx calipers and rotors pulled at local junkyard: $80.00
Rotor Turning and new oem pads: $42.00
Brake fluid: $6.00
New Seal Kit for DIY Caliper Rebuild: $24.00
Total Cost: $152.00
Being able to stop constantly with no brake fade: Priceless.
Granted you can add another $100 for ss lines I'm gonna pick up, but it's still a cheap and damn good brake upgrade. An extra eight feet stopping distance is a hell of a world of difference at scca events, especially when one turn that leads right into another, and then into a sloam.
A fast car only needs a throttle...fast drivers need throttle, brakes, clutch, and a steering wheel. Quote me on that.
