I have been having problems with my stock LT1 brakes. OR SO I THINK...my pedal just doesnt feel right (its kinda soft for a sec and then gets rock hard before its even 3/4s down!)
What might be the problem? The car doesnt stop very well either. I bleed the brakes few times now and the problem is still there.

What is the best way to bleed the brakes? I have been doing it according to the haynes manual, start at the back wheel, pump the brake, open the bleeder let if flow for a sec close the bleeder, let go of the pedal etc........Please help!
Thanks
Marcin

 

For manual bleeding, make sure you bleed the system in the proper order. There are 2 bleeder points on the ABS unit itself that must be bled first. Then the bleed each brake in order of furthest from the master cylinder. Rear passenger first, then rear driver, then front passenger, and finally front driver.

 

Marcin,
is your closed throttle timing still stock?

 

Sounds like you still have some air in the brake system. Imagine the air as a spring. The first time you get in the car and press on the brake, the pedal is soft until all that air compresses. The brake fluid doesn't compress. The air expands when you don't use the brakes, so it will go soft again, poor brake performance.
