Brake issue?

I was playing around with a SS Camaro a couple weeks back and my brake pedel went soft. I was doing some hard braking then but now its fine that I drive regular. No sensors went off the brake fluid is good and hasnt changed. I didnt see any puddles or anything. I though maybe that I got air in the line but now the brakes are fine so Im not sure.

I did replace the brakes and rotors about 4 weeks back. I havent had a issue til the heavy braking. Any ideas?

Air or you smoked the fluid = needing higher temp. fluid.

I guess Ill bleed the brakes and put better fluid in and hope it doesnt do it again.

Do a complete brake fluid flush/bleed and replace with a good synthetic like Valvoline synthetic. Good time to get "Speed Bleeders". They make the job simple.

Your master cylinder might be going....Mine got soft sometimes and then worked fine others. Just keep that in mind. You have to pump the brakes to stop....Be careful
