do you have abs?
are the calipers compadable wit the above answer?
if you have abs have you bleed the modual?
did you use old rotors w/ new pads or vise versa?
u can shoot me a pm if needed i went through hell with a caliper swap on a buddys car.

I just did the NX on my B14 ....

Best way to bleed these is the " One person " bottle method .... ...Basically .. Bottle half full of fluid ,one end of the hose in the bottle end in the fluid , put the other end on the bleeder then open the bleeder a half turn or so ... then slowly pump the brakes 10x to the floor , close the bleeder, check fluid level in the MC then go to the next wheel .... If that does not work you have a problem ...

I just did mine , using the stock B14 MC with new lines and bleed all 4 wheels and it worked great !!

I don't have abs, and I used all new components except the calipers,
.
I was driving it around today and the brakes work, but I have to push the pedal down a lot to get enough pressure, but I can lock up all 4 wheels
.
I found a garage that will bleed the brakes for me for cheap on monday so ill just wait

Any little air pocket in the brake system WILL cause you issues. x2 on what wayne said...keep bleeding!

Well I had them bled, it didn't do much, I was told that because of the bigger calipers I need a bigger master cylinder, I've been looking in the junkyards for one from an nx but no luck so far
.
right now the brakes feel like the ones in my 1.6L, not too much of a big deal they just feel a little mushy, sometime in the future I will change the mc out, but there is no real rush for it

if the rears are stockers and the fronts are AD22s you do not need a bigger MC, degrease the calipers and see if one turns up wet, you might have a leaking caliper....

both are good no leakage, but within the last week or so Ive been getting oil spray from the engine on the inner passenger brake pad, Ive now located a splash guard for that side to stop it
