    The only other thing I've read to do that i haven't tried yet is below from another random FB group. I feel hesitant to try that and risk getting more air into the ABS but it seemed to work for this dude to get a fairly close to stock pedal feel. Some say a dealership bleed helped them but...

    The best way i can describe it from today's drive is the first half is pretty much no effort. Then it starts to pick up some firmness like you would feel with normal light braking and it stays light braking feel all the way up to about 90% pedal then the last 10% feels like mod braking. I can...

    E brake doesn't hold for shit. But I also haven't tried to adjust it yet, I've been working on the actual brakes first. I also have seem some good line lock set ups that I may go that route instead

    Forgot the picture my B, there definitely should be enough space in there but the weights were stacked so.... Idk I also drove it up to 55 today and not a single vibe so not sure why that much weight was on there

    Yeah I figured with the dual piston and larger rotor that they aren't going to feel like stock. But I did expect them to feel similar firmness just to need more leg to stop. I drove it out to a little dune dirt playground out by my house today and slammed on the brakes a good 10 times and it...

    Mine do look at little bigger than that. Not sure if they changed rotor sizes or not. I also went 72" axles and went with 17" wheels with 4.25" backpacking. Not sure what size wheels you are running

    Dont you have to immediately bleed the calipers after doing that?

    Rancho through another 4 rounds of the JScan ABS bleed. Im at the mercy of how long my wife will sit and hold the pedal for me. I didn't visually see any air come out the lines BUT there was a sizeable increase in pedal firmness. First 1/3rd is still super soft second third it picks up some...

    Ok update on the brakes situation. So I dug around online for ABS bleeding that was better than "using a scan tool" and I found a post of using the JScan in a slightly different manner than the instructions. Instructions say Crack the bleeder Fire the abs Close the bleeder And just goes...

    Can't say i really looked at the weights until they were ripped off but it was only the fronts that hit the calipers. The rears clear just fine

    72" on the axles and 4.25" on the wheels. its about 3" wider than it was before so not too wide but im sitting about 85" total width

    There is one other thing I haven't tried yet that a few people have said was the ticket to get them firm on the Facebook page. They will pump the pedal and manually crack each line on the ABS pump. Thats about the only thing I haven't tried at this point. Figured ill give that a try and see what...

    Im not sure if fusion mount and balance their own wheel sets, or if they are out sourced. Totally understand every wheel and axle combo will fit different but I do find it odd that I would get a wheel and tire set that didn't work with the axles I bought them with. Idk

    Ok so this is where I'm at. "Bench blead" the master cylinder Ran the ABS bleed again And blead at the calipers again. The pedal is still super soft. I put it in neutral and pushed it a bit to at least confirm it will stop. At least enough for me to drive it around the block. Pulled out of...

    So I tried just opening the front left and pumping the pedal, burned though a bottle of fluid to see no bubbles and no change in the pedal. Went down to autozone and bought a bench bleeder and hooked it up just on the vehicle using the pedal to cycle the piston and it definitely had air moving...

    Worth a try to have a buddy build pressure on the pedal and I crack the lines on the master? I can get to the lines on the master from the bottom. Id have to remove all the GM computers to get to the master from the top

    Not saying it can't be done but I'd have to peel back quite a few other things with rhe motor swap to get to it. Is there a better way to get air out out of the master without removing it? Just burn through a bunch of fluid and open the front left caliper and pump away?

    No I haven't removed anything other than the brake lines at the axles
