Another Brake Question

OK Guys,
I'm tired of my brakes that are here today, gone later today. What would you do to end this problem once and for all??? I'm thinking not original rotors and calipers.
Thanks

Re: Another Brake Question (wes77)

are we dealing with fade, air or leaks? (or all of the above?)

New SS sleeved calipers, rebuilt M/C, and SS flex hose lines to start.

I have bleed the brakes many times. new calipers up front SS. I get pulling to one side some times and then it feels like no power assist some times. after a few miles they sometimes work ok. MC has not been replaced.
Thanks

Re: Another Brake Question (wes77)

You need to go in the archives and read about the brake problems, and various cures.....

I went with getting the worst of the runout problems taken care of....then using O ring pistons with NO SPRINGS in stainless calipers....then you should use DOT5 fluids.....
