I received my email from Ron yesterday since I have a master involved in the recall. My car just made it to the street and now has about 150 miles on it. The whole brake system was put together my Ron (it is a 69 Firebird set up for the track, but driven on the street). I have bled the brakes several times...a combination of gravity feed and pump-hold method, and the master was bench bled. As far as I can tell, I have no air in the lines. My rotors, pads, lines, everything is new. I have bedded the pads in as best I can, but the braking performance just doesn't seem to be there yet. When I slam on the brakes from around 55mph I can't even get them to lock up, and the pedal seems vague when driving around town (seems like I have to think ahead to stop). Could my problems be coming from a bad master, or something else?
