    The brakes on my Rodeo are really good, just have to barely touch them. After driving my Volvo and work van for a while I just about put myself through the windshield when I drive the Rodeo. It has stainless lines, slotted rotors, and ceramic pads. It can take a lot of bleeding to get all the air out of them. I did it several times the day I did all the brake work then a few more times during the next couple days.

    I have all the same parts on the way here to do the Volvo so hopefully I get those brakes to work just as well.

    There is just something plain wrong with the VX brakes. I have new master cylinder, booster, calipers, EBC green pads, cross drilled rotors, SS lines and they still suck. The trooper is the same rig, it stops on a dime. The only difference being the proportioning valve and the ABS system. I am at a loss, my pedal is firm, it just doesnt stop.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
