? 98-02 Brake Pedal Feel ?

Well I posted this in the brake section to no avail.

I was just wondering how your brakes feel. After having my joke of a brake system in my Mustang (Hydro Boost) I cannot remember how my 2000 SS felt.

My 2002 has a really soft pedal, The brakes are still awesome but is this the way they all feel?

My 98 (V6 but same brakes) felt strong, I could almost stop on a dime with that car. It was soft to a short EXSTENT but it got strong and stopped much harder...

Most common cause for soft pedal is air in the system, try bleeding them. Make sure you go from passanger rear to driver rear then passanger front then driver front. Always start farthest away from the master cylinder.

Yes... My brakes were weak after a brake job and 98% of it were my rear brakes...
