So i did brakes all the way around. First time turnin the rortors and new ceramic brake pads for the front, got new drums and shoes and hardware for the rears and it was only 130 at Autozone :) A mechanic buddy of mine helped me out with doin the rears and then we bleed the lines to makes sure there was no air and the pedal reacts faster but is still as sqwishy as before... he noticed lil floaters in my res. and said he thinks i need a new master cyl. :(

Are we talking fender heights or brakes? If you are getting a new master clylinder get one off a newer NBS, I am told they fit. The bore is larger allowing more pressure to the brakes. Also if you want, look into the firm feel master cylinder from SSBC
