I need your help guys. I just installed my df's and now my brakes don't work properly. When I'm driving my car and I push on the brake once, it sinks almost all the way to the floor.I checked for leaks and there weren't any.
what do you guys think?

have you tried bleeding your brake lines to make sure there's no air in them? don't forget when you bleed them to make sure to start from the back brakes and work your way to the front

what does bleed brake lines mean? sorry...

Basically, you might have air bubbles in the brake fluid... which is very bad. Bleeding the brakes means to get rid of all possible bubbles in the brake lines. This requires going to each of the brakes and "bleeding" them until no more bubbles come out while being careful not to empty the brake fluid reservoir.

so basically I have to detach each brake line attached to the brake n let air n alil brake fluid out starting from the back to the front wheels.

There are small vent bolts/nipples on each caliper. You either need a bleeder system or a wrench and a friend. Google probably has some pretty good full descriptions with photos and stuff....

x2 (vent bolts) other wise known as bleeder valves r on each wheel caliper and look just like a grease fitting most likely a 8 or 10 mm start car pump brakes till u get pressure and hold it have another person quickly open and close this valve 1 time and keeping pressure on the brake peddle, when opened you will lose the pressure forcing air and brake fluid out repeating process on each wheel and never alloying the brake resovoir to run dry it could take two or more times per wheel to get all the air out

if it still remains either u done it wrong or you have another problem

your best bet is to take it to a shop...

Hold on a sec. I'm going to assume by df you mean tanabe df 210 lowering springs. If that's the case, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you prob jacked something up in there, because doing a spring swap doesn't involve your brakes at all. Ensure that the blake lines are clear of any moving parts and that you aren't somehow pinching any of them. If df doesn't refer to springs than nevermind. Good luck with the bleed then.

yea, all these experts talkin about brake bleeding....Hey OP! make sure your ABS sensors are plugged in.

awarachiago

Yeah, you should be talking. Highly unlikely an unplugged ABS sensor would make the brake pedal sink to the floor.

i have to agree on the sensor part that will just set a code..... everyone is leading u on the right track but if u have to ask what a brake bleeder is i am no shore if u want to go about that on ur own find someone that has done it before but is not hard to do......

JDMJim

well, then if he installed springs, i guess he didn't need to fool with the brakes. I never had a cars brakes fail after installing springs. he must have really effed up

1slowtc

^^^^^^ now i can really agree with that.....

xDdub

Yea I am bringing my car to the shop... I am not going to do it myself.
