i havnt been on much either...work keeps me busy
No fluid is leaking anywhere from what i can see. The brakes were fine before with the stock setup. I don't think there's a leak at the brake booster seeing as though i haven't touched it since i installed the turbo.

I've already bled them 3 times that's whats making this so weird. I kept bleeding them to make sure there wasn't any air at all in the lines.

If you're going to order them use scionlife as the promo code/coupon code and it'll save you an additional 5%

Man nice brakes. I didn't know they were ******.

Try calling the Wilwood tech support line, don't the brakes have a spring thingy you have to install?

No there weren't any spring things at all. Just the calipers, rotors, pads, lines, brackets, bolts and washers.

Damm really. The breaks were fine with the stock setup. Do those normally go bad. I only have 48k on the car

I had a competition clutch stage 4 and it went on me. Springs exploded out of the disc in less than a year when I was naturally aspirated. I went with a spec clutch stage 3 as it's was all I really needed plus the pedal feel isn't as stiff as the stage 4 was.

You would know if they are mushy and weak no matter how you bleed. Also if you have a way to pressurize the system you would be unable to maintain pressure. They have brake bleeder kits that do good stuff like that.

Alright guys. Problem fixed. I took the car to my mechanic and The nut that hold the axle in the hub was loose and was allowing play. He tightened it and I've been driving all day and the breaks are solid!!

Hey Kyle I'll snag some pics of the brake kit when I'm installing my new wheels. The car stops amazing now. Best $780 I've ever spent. I highly recommend these. Thanks for the hook up Kyle.
