No I checked, the soft lines are definitely brand new. As well as the calipers, pads, and rotors.



I'll take a look, though the fact all those parts are literally brand new, including the brackets. As well, this problem occurred just as much with the old pads, as well as the new. Nothing changed in that respect.
That statement would make me wonder if the Master Cylinder wasn't going out......

Well the old pads were down to 10%, I believe the problem was there, I just didn't notice it. The new pads really grip well.

I just took it for a spin around town, no locking up at all... so confused...

Flush the system anyway..... Getting ALL the old crappy fluid out certainly won't hurt you.

If it was happening before and after the new parts then its not those parts. I would replace the master cylinder
