New calipers pedal to the floor
Good Morning,
I replaced all four calipers / pads on my '01 vert with Z06 stock calipers. My brake pedal goes down to the floor and does pump up pretty firm but goes back down to the floor. The hose connections were slightly leaking so I gave them a 1/4 turn which stopped the leaking. Any ideas on what could be going on with my brakes? Thanks and have a Great Day!

Once all leaks were resolved, did you bleed the entire system?

Did you bleed each caliper? Sounds like there is air in the system. I believe the proper bleeding sequence is RR, LF, LR, and then RF. Make sure that the master cylinder reservoir is full before bleeding each caliper.

I just finished flushing and bleeding the entire system using a Motive pressurized bleeder and there were in fact quite a few air bubbles. Upon completion, all is well and no more fading pedal. Thanks for the help!

Yes, there was lots of air in the system however I used the furthest from the master cylinder sequence method RR LR RF then LF. Thanks for the help.
