I've bench bled this master countless times and gone around all the wheels and let sit for a day and pedal starts out great and then goes south under heavy braking (also using Hawk pads) Anyone else experience this? I have talked to Wilwood and they have been very good @ trying to remedy this but problem still persists. If anyone has had this problem in a roadrace application,any help would be appreciated Not ranting,just want this problem rectified
