What up fellas? I don't know if any of you guys experience this, but I had a problem with the brakes. They felt mushy as hell in my 96 EX and I swapped out rotors, brake lines and brake pads. I got the cross drilled/slotted rotors (OEM size) stainless steel brakes lines and I forgot the brand of brake pads. I did all that and they still feel mushy at times. Is it the master cylinder? Someone told me no. And if it isn't, since I don't have the dough for bigger brakes, can I through a prelude or v6 accord master in there? I'm not trying to be cheap; I just don't have the dough right now. Thx for any help. L8tr!

 

Did you bleed the hell out of the system, and use new fluid. The fluid and a good bleed makes a helluva difference in braking!

p.s. My Master Cylinder went out once and they don't just get mushy, they don't work! That sucked. So yeah, it's not the master cyl...

 

We put fresh fluid in and everything. And we bled the damn thing twice! Where were you when they stopped working?

 

It actually gradually happened over about a week. Got worse and worse until the pedal would just go to the floor and the car would not slow down. I would have to pump the brakes like mad, downshift, and use the e-brake all at the same time. Luckily in L.A. traffic never moves that fast
