Today I decided to bed in my new rotors and pads by doing some 60-20 mph stops. The ABS kicked in on the first stop, and the pedal sank a little. On the second stop, the pedal gets firm for a second, then continues down near the floor. Stops after that resulted in a very soft brake pedal, and not much stopping power. The pedal comes back up, only to get near the floor when stopping. The car will stop, as long as there's enough room and I'm standing on the brake pedal. I've tried pumping the pedal with the car off, and it will sink down to the floor. It will come back up like normal with my foot off.
Parts replaced in the past year:
Wheel cylinders
Rear brake shoes/hardware
Front rotors/pads
All 4 rubber brake hoses
Should mention, at the time of the hoses I kicked in the ABS repeatedly on a gravel road. The pedal felt a bit soft right after that, but got better. I haven't re-bled the system since then.
The fluid level looks fine, and there's no fluid in the vacuum hose from the booster.
The steel brake lines are rust-free, as they were replaced a little over a year ago.
What do you folks have to say? Re-bleed, or master cylinder time?
