I finally did the 4 piston caliper conversion along with 4 powerstop x-drilled rotors and metal master pads. The system was bled twice and there is plenty of fluid. Now the pedal feels "squishy" and goes down way further then before. :newburn:
I am going to try to bleed the brakes again on monday but does anyone have any ideas? Was there a different master cylinder for the 4 piston calipers?? The install went easy, but of course nothing can go totally smooth. ???
WTF!%$#!@$

Make sure that there are no leaks from any of the flare fittings. That's a possible source.

If you have a small leak you should feel it on the pedal if you keep it down long enough. I have a 4-piston system on mine as standard I may check for a part number on the master cylinder.
BTW, it would be logical that the pedal goes further since the pistons have same distance to travel as 1-piston system but have much more surface to push so more fluid needed.

Are you sure that you're bleeding the system properly?
