New Brakes are on
#82
correct bleed order is driver front then clockwise around car
LF RF RR LR
shop may not have done right as its very odd
with new lines and 2 new calipers, a full flush to refill takes approx 1.5 qts DOT4 fluid
all clear clean fluid at each caliper is the goal
some will get the first bit of clean and call it done, but much old fluid remains in the caliper
old fluid contains moisture and causes weak pedal!!
follow pad and rotor instructions on bedding- action for effort at pedal will get stronger
but with SS lines it should always feel firm
if you quick pump twice on the brake pedal does it get firmer?
doh! I JUST REMEMBERED!!!!!!!!!!
when a line has been open on the TL- as in new lines and calipers,,
you MUST do 2 ABS active stops from 45mph to stop
get back up to 45 and repeat full ABS active- swerve wheel on gravel, or wet
pedal must PULSE wildly under your foot
air gets into a hidden ABS place when line removed- only way to get it is the above- right from acura tech book!
use of abs= if 2nd effort was better firmer pedal there was air
rebleed entire system and air will come out at least one line
then it will stop right
NOTE you dont want abs use with brand new brakes- its really hard on them

I'll try the abs thing you said. The pedal has stiffened up a little bit and the brakes work great. I do notice that if I pump twice the pedal is firmer.
I'll go back to the shop once I get a few hundred more miles and get a full flush done.
Thanks!
