Ok, I have been trying to get rid of this spongy brake pedal for almost 4 months. I have bled these brakes. I have rid the rear end of disk brakes and I still can't get rid of this god damn annoying ass spongy fealing..
My 323, if you touch the brake, you will feal the gravity of the car slowing down. and the pedal is solid..
My protege, when you step on the brakes, the car slows down, but there is just this spongy fealing to it.. It is so annoying. I am not sure if it is the brake pads.. As I opted to get the good autozone pads ($$ limiting).
Here is what I am thinking about doing.
Swaping out my brake booster for a 1st gen protege/323 Brake booster.
- I am starting to suspect that the brake boosters are not that strong in the 2nd gens .. (for whatever reason) and are stronger in the 1st gens.
- Rebleed the whole system again, which I already did and filled with new DOT3 fluid and see if that makes a difference.
I also have the proportioning valve from a 1st gen protege lx on the way also. This is to send more power to the rear discs...
but I don't think it will do anyting to help with my damn mushy brakes...
Protege Menace. I know you said you were having this problem, any thoughts on your side
