no brakes
I bleed them and they stopped much better. Car was sitting for a month or too, and there back to the crappy braking. Do I need to replace the brake lines? The calipers look pretty new. How hard is it to replace brake lines, and how costly?

Re: no brakes (Blues77)
Need more details!
Are you leaking fluid? Does the fluid level in the master cylinder drop, or is there any fluid around the calipers?
If you bleed the brakes, do you get a hard pedal? Does the pedal go soft if you stand on it, or after driving? The lines are likely not the problem.
How do your calipers look new? My calipers ARE new, and they look old! :cry
Keep us posted!
