The rotors might affect it also. if you have already changed the calipers why not the rotors too. especialy if they are 12yr old stockers. when I did mine I changed the rotors and calipers and then I found out from a fellow Fbody owner that I should have replaced the rubber lines too. so I did and it works fine.

He already bought loaded calipers and rotors so I would say that unless he has a bad bearing, which would be noticed when he did the caliper replace, what is left is the brake line.

Yea guys thanks. The car pulled to the left so I changed and bleed the right hose. Took it out for a test drive just to see if it changed anything. What do you know...The car pulled to the right....Haha. Pulled the car back into the garage put the other side hose on, bleed the lines, and vwola.....Perfect stopping brakes. Ohh and the rear hatch switch and power mirrors and all my dome lights now work. They were on one blown fuse. Love the new car.

Thanks for your help

You should have bought a set of hoses. All 5 of them and changed them all at once.

a twelve year old car is not going to be perfect, so expect some MINOR problems. and the hood thing must be a common problem cuz my bracket keeps shifting to one side but if i wrestle a little i can get the hood up fine. i'm thinking about redoing my brakes also cuz they just dont feel right when stopping sometimes. well if my back shocks were stock i wouldnt doubt it if the brakes were.
