    Default Bad Brakes!!!! Need YOUR Opinion!

    Just need your opinion!
    Ok So When i bought my car. it needed for it to be bleeded..so once i had a change i did that and the pedal still almost hit the floor ,giving me very little brakes and ive bleed them like 4times & still seems the same
    i know for a fact there a Leak In The rear cylinders (which im fixing this wkend) hope it helps!
    But could it be that the rotors and pads need to be replaced?

    Ok Girls back to the op! ^^^
    so to bleed the system you need to usually pump the brake like 4times.hold it in and open the bolt right...
    so ive done it over 4times & still seems the same!! ive even pumped it like 10times on each wheel & no resultsS!

    If you have leaky wheel cylinders, bleeding the brakes is borderline pointless...how much are wheel cylinders these days?
