I thought I would post some pics of my new slotted rotors and SS brake lines. While I was at it I painted the calipers. Unfortunatley I can't seem to bleed the bakes properly or something. They still feel spongy. Maybe there's a secret to it. I bleed them starting passenger rear, driver rear. passenger front, driver front. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Anyways on to the pics. Let me know what you think.

Also I think I found the problem with my clunking noise when I go over speed bumps. Can someone tell me what this is called and how to go about fixing it. Sorry Im a newb.:tease:
 
Now, correct me if i'm wrong. But shouldn't the bleeder screw be pointing up, not down?

you would be correct on that assumption. paper trafficin you have the calipers reversed, that could be the reason for your spongy brakes.
 
Wow and that arm bushing is GONE. I bet you get a lot of thumps on bumps don't ya?
 
Replace those knuckle bushing with some Energy Suspension bushings, put the calipers on the correct side, and bleed them in the correct order, RR, LF, LR, RF.
 
Thanks guys, I didn't realize the calipers were on wrong. It was dark and cold, I was in a hurry. I'll try and change them this weekend and bleed them again. Housegsx, good information, It's greatly appreciated.
As for the paint on the calipers it's regular car paint I had mixed at Sherwin Williams Automotive paint store, to match the color of the car, and some fire proof clear coat, with hardener.

Also I sprayed the calipers
