    Well I've been driving it for a while now and I would think the pedel would get vetter by now if it was going too. We even tried bleeding the brakes the pads are against the rotors now. I'm convinced I need aftermarket brakes.

    On the topic of bleeding does anyone know of a good bleed kit? I have the traditional and a pump but I was wondering if they make one that uses a compressor? or something similiar that shops use...

        Any $2 bleed kit will work fine, but did you bleed the brake booster? Check that, it's probably your problem. I don't know the proceedure, but it will be in any shitty repair manual.

          The procedure includes bleeding master cylinder, ABS system, and each caliper. Help my god if I have to go through all that.

            Hey, if that's your problem what ya gonna do? If you do do it get a friend to pump the pedal for you. It took me about and hour, once the tires were off.

              By the way, did you even take off your brake lines?

                No, and I already bleed that caliper. All I have left to do is bleed the hole system. But after some research I found out a spongy pedal can be from improper master cylinder bore/caliper configuration.
