brake aggrevation
I'm at a loss here, my brakes have sucked for years, pedal seems to run out of travel. I've replaced my wheel cylinders because they were locked up, tested my brake booster and replaced my master cylinder to no avail, I've even tried adjusting the brake booster rod. I recently did the ad22 upgrade and brakes feel a bit better but still can't get them to lock up. They are a bit touchy until I slam on them then it feels like there just isn't enough movement left in the pedal, I actually press so hard it hits the stopper on the floor. I brake my pads in properly and everything. Pedal is high and hard with engine off, no abs, 99 sentra with lowport swap (brakes were crappy before swap as well. Help me please.

Bad brake line or hose. Air trapped in system. My guesses.

I am planning on getting new hoses but I've bled this thing 100000 times. Pedal is hard just feels wrong, fluid comes flying out when bleeding too. I'm just frustrated with this.

Any soft or Rusty hard lines? They could be expanding under pressure.

Just checked em today, the hard lines seem fine, I'm hoping the hoses fix the issue since I don't see anything else

That is after I put a new oil pan on it, wifey smashed it in somehow and didn't bother to mention that she hit something HARD.

Thanks all for helping me make the decision on the hoses, I've spent so much on routine stuff I just wanted to get some vehicle specific experienced opinions. Getting hoses from GregV soon
