I have NO CLUE if the new master was bench bled or not......Is this a MUST DO to do it properly?? It was replaced at a brake specialist place. The fluid is a gorgeous golden color...lol......compared to the coffee that used to be in it......Im concerned the rotors are smooth as glass so early....would air in the system cause it to glaze up because its not working properly????
I would still say air in the system is your problem. Most places will do a quick bleed and send you on your way.

Please forgive the question but I dont KNOW....just have an idea.....If the new master was NOT bench bled prior to installation.....does it have to come off again, or will it just take a bit longer to bleed it to the calipers???

I think you're right. I would stick to the semi-metallic pads, just use a good quality one.
Ceramics went on 6 months ago when I started trying to fix the brakes......OH WELL.....guess they need to come off???

Went to the Corvettes ONLY mechanic today.......He said if I wanted to throw $2500 at the, that would be about the only way to make a HUGE improvement.
Otherwise, drilled/slotted rotors and hawk pads would help, but he doubts a huge difference. Not what I was hoping to hear. I guess I will save my pennies and go the way of the rotors/pad.
