Brakes in a wierd state....

Ok, the first problem i had with my brakes was...

- Pedal traveled to the floor when stopped

I got a new MC, and it doesnt do that anymore.

However, now, the brakes work great, but there is not alot of resistance.
What i mean is that they work like they always have, but if i press hard, it can get it to go 50-70% of its full motion.

I am guessing there may be air in the line, but when i got a new MC, they flushed the system, so the chances are low.

I'm used to stepping a bake pedal and it being really hard.

any ideas?

Most likely whoever installed MC did not adequately bleed the brakes. It's a simple job but does take a bit of time and patience. Usually a two man job; one to operate brake pedal and other to crack the bleeder, bleed, reseal,...

I work from RR, LR, RF, LF to bleed.

good luck

+1. ya, they did a crap job. your brake system has air in it and they have left your car in a very unsafe state. I would demand they do it right or find someone that will perform a vacuum/pressure bleeding for you. If you're up for a DIY, it can be done easily with an assistant.
