brake pedal drops half way, then gets firm...confusion

You have more options if you already have an adjustable prop valve installed, as the union for the front circuit that no longer has to pass through the prop valve is an opportunity for a tee. See Bob's setup over on m.net for a pic.

It took 90-minutes to move the lines and bolt it in on my back...now, the reverse bleed. If you have the FM prop valve kit, get the Lines and fittings and stock prop valve to bend them up instead of making lines.

sure hope that works. i'm like the worlds laziest bleeder and haven't had any problems except with brake fade... and the time i lost the brakes completely after brian swapped the 1.8 brake hardware in. some problem with a T and it leaked all the fluid out and the pedal went to the floor...
i still say a c-clamp on the rears would tell you what to chase. or cap the ******* things off completely where the hard line ends.

I know it was already mentioned in this thread, and disregarded, but I did adjust the rod on the MC, only sightly. I wanted there to be as little travel as possible. It worked well but took 2 or 3 trys to get it adjusted to the point that the brakes would not drag. Now my pedal moves about .5 to .75" total, I feel it gives me very quick and precise brake modulation, I don't have to "push" the pedal down at all, just apply pressure. O yes my set up is the 4 wheel Good-win BBK, w/ stock MC, and Flyin miata prop valve kit, Amsoil brake fluid, and Cobalt friction XR2, XR4 set up.

You have to bleed all 4 on each caliper, crap always comes out.

I ******* hate that track, first of all. The pedal felt good but I definitely have pad knock back...and I'm not sure why so I'm tightening all the hubs and going to see what that does at the track. The pedal felt good until the cool down lap...then it dropped to the floor. I just bled the brakes and the fluid is clear with very few bubbles if any so I'm stumped. Caliper temps show now higher than 400* so I doubt I'm boiling fluid.
If fluid boils does it immediately darken or can it stay clear?
