Well my issue isn't from old, or bad parts. I upgraded my non Brembo's to a F & R bbk. My pedal is soft (shut up Soleil), and I was looking for the best resolution to correct it.

Pedal was soft for me at first too.(still have air in the system I found out). I resolved this by using a different bleed technique. PUt car on jack stand and take off all wheels. Need 2 people. one pump the brake a couple of times and then let off. Have the second person loosen up all the bleed valves. Then the other person presses the brakes and hold it down while the second person retightens all the bleed valves. Do this about 3 times and it should solve the problem. I had the soft pedal issue when I installed the brembos and rotora but bleeding this wasy solved the issue for me

From what I remember, Jason bled and bled and bled his brakes but it never actually worked until he had Dave help him with the power bleeder when he install his Rotoras

Proper way to bleed brakes is:

1. Put a clear tube on the bleeder screw and the other end at the bottom of a bottle filled with brake fluid.

2. Open the bleeder and pump the brakes SLOWLY until there aren't any more bubbles coming from the caliper.

3. You must make sure the reservoir and the bottle never become empty and suck in air.

4. Close the bleeder screw on the down stroke of the pedal


This process eliminates forming bubbles from cavitation.
