[QUOTE="Phil V, post: 1029412, member: 70859"] Update: Swapped the calipers, and fixed the problem. Now the bleed nipples are where they are supposed to be on the top. I bled the entire system again. There is 100% new fluid in there that is for sure. The pedal is as firm as it has ever been now. I did rear rotors pads and calipers a year ago and bled the system at that point. Believe it or not the calipers were stamped wrong. I put the L on the driver's side and the R on the passenger side. This is how I ended up with the bleed nipples on the bottom. Don't ask me how that happened but somebody messed up somewhere. When I did rear brakes a year ago I put on the R1 Concepts slotted rotors and EBC Greenstuff pads. These felt pretty good. For the fronts that I just did I put on the slotted rotors again but went with Orange stuff pads. I am still breaking them in but so far it feels amazing. I have made my truck go faster, it was way past time I made it stop faster. I am looking forward to when they are broken in and I can really test them out! [/QUOTE]
