PROBLEM FIXED!! See my last post
I Just installed Pagid blues on my 05 Elise. I put some brake lubricant on the backs of the pads. The install went very well.
I took it out for the bed in and found the pedal is still spongy. I came home and did a brake flush and found the rear fluid was very dirty. Test drove and found the brakes are still the same. Did another flush and test. Still thee same.
According to the original owner they were that way when he had the car too. Mind you,there was also a brake flush was done by a local shop just 3 weeks ago. There was no difference in pedal feel after that was done either.
Anyway, My question is:1 Was I supposed to put the brake lubricant on these?
2 Anyone with an 05 ever got improved pedal compared to how it was when delivered new?
3 What else can I do to get this improved?
I am at wits end!!
Thanks
Ps: I did search and have found some interesting things.
