Hi,
I installed Goodridge S/S lines, Rotora slotted/drilled rotors, Hawk HPS pads and Castrol Dot4 fluid on my touring Z last weekend.
pedal isn't stiff at all so me and my buddy bleed hell out of the brake.
all 4 lines, master cylinders, even abs lines.. it seems like all the air went out (since we put all 1 quote of brake fluid while bleeding) but my brake is very soft and its exactly same as my stock brakes. i got an empty spot like .25" in the begining of brake.
me and my buddy did all we could possibly could do.
Please help me!

i think that this is a characteristic of the hawk hps pads. i never bled my brakes, but i switched from stock to the hps pads and noticed that the pedal will go down further before it starts to brake. i usually tap the pedal to seat the pads before i begin braking. the hawks are good pads, but they don't have the initial bite like the stock pads.
