Default My brake-power sucks. 4 new rotors, pads WERE barely used on old rotors,

bled, bomb *seems* to work, new master cylinder - bench bled, but probably not very well. Pads were not reground or anything, but they were re-bed to the rotor.

I think I bought Valvoline dot 4 brake fluid and flushed with that. Is that stuff super cheapo/crappy? Can bad fluid make for a sissy pedal? I have to push really hard to stop fast. I don't remember the brakes being this bad when I got it.

I think I got cheap front pads, too. That's prolly the problem, huh?
