I've searched the subject and after I painted my calipers and pads up front today, I only bleed the front brakes.....that's why the car barely stops w/the pedal almost to the floor, air in the lines? I hope so, tomorrow I'm installing 4 new drilled/slotted rotors from R1 Concepts and I'll bleed all 4. Pattern for bleeding is RR, LR, RF, LF?

I believe that's correct.

lol rotors. You might go see a shop. Brakes are one of the most important systems of your car. If your experiencing bad problems with the brakes like this then you need to go to a shop if you dont know how to solve it with a DIY.

Allout

Sequence for bleeding is :
1) Left Front
2) Right Front
3) Right Rear
4) Left Rear

its that important i didnt know that. well duh if i thought it was that bad i would take it to the shop. ive been trying to research it on my own before i took it in.

Hopefully that's it...Now for the new problem....i'm driving to work this morning and both calipers sound like they're rattling around like crazy.....any ideas? And yes, the bolts were tightened.

Hmmm, that bleeding procedure is interesting. I thought most of the time you started with the brake furthest from the master cylinder.

If your pedal goes that far to the floor before stopping I think I'd bring it into a shop instead of trying to do it yourself. They can power bleed them and get better results in most cases.

Yeah, I made an executive decision once I got to work. The CL-S is at Sears right now (I know the regional manager very well) I'm just going to let them fix what I messed up trying to play mechanic yesterday. They're going to put on my new rotors today, fix the bent LF steering knuckle...and they do have camber kits but I'm trying to get one from Excelerate if it can happen quickly....Next week I'm getting 4 new tires and Tein Basic Coilovers....It's going to be a whole new car....hopefully.....they also offered me 15% off and we're putting the work under a commercial account for my office, so that's good.

U.P.S SUCKS......but atleast the tire company is sending me new tires, and going after U.P.S for their mistake! Gotta love customer service
