I just finished installing a full cobra front brake upgrade kit on my 2000 GT, and I cann't seem to get any pressure at the front brake pads.

I have blead all 4 corners and there does not seem to be any air leaft in the system, but i have no pedal when i do to stop. i need to push it to the floor to just come to a rolling stop.

Not to mention when i has bleeding the breaks the front calipers never "really" pushed the fluid out, it kind of just trickled out. Any ideas of suggestions would be a great help.

oh the kit included 2 new braided russell front break lines, I don't know if there is where my problem lies.

Thanks.

do you have ABS? you might have air in the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit. you will need a scan tool with ford ABS support to finish bleeding it.

I did my brakes and had kind of the same thing. I had not bleed the master cylinder under the hood. Once that was done they where good.

WTF R U TALKING ABOUT? SN95s?

You have air in there, bottom line. You should have it towed to a shop and corrected.
