So, I was having problems with stopping due to the brake pedal feeling mushy & going to the floor at times. I purchased a vacuum canister off this site and thought that would fix the problem. (no such luck) I had already planned on doing the LS1 front brake upgrade over the winter, which I did with a few of my LT1 buddies. The drilled & slotted rotors, calipers, braided lines, and pads all came off of my buddies 01 SS with only 9,000 miles. There are no codes being thrown, the brake fluid is full, everything is plugged in correctly, & we bled the front brakes after the upgrade. "I STILL have the mushy pedal feeling and it has gone to the floor once already since having the car out only twice this year. "PLEASE HELP" with my problem with any suggestions & opinions! Thanks guys, Brian

IMO you should also bleed the rear brakes as well.I was having a similar problem,bled the rear brakes and problem solved.

I had my brake booster go out and it did the same thing.

Wrong forum.... this is LT1 Based ENGINE Tech.

Moving to Suspension, Chassis and Brakes.

You need to bleed the system fully, including the lines between the master and the ABS unit, the two bleeders on the ABS unit, and then all the individual brakes.

Sorry that I put this in the wrong forum, but I posted this when I was angry and just wasen't thinking. Thanks for the help & suggestions. Off to bleeding, Brian
