Got a brake and suspension set up from datsport, I've bled them twice and still the peddle is soggy with no bite tested them doing about 90kmph and took me near 200m to pull up!! What could be wrong ? Masters cylinder is all new everything is new R32 stuff with big disc front and rear!!!
Any clues cheers?

Doesnt sound like its bled right.
R32 brakes should be firm as on the pedal with the right master cyl size...

Did you bleed the master cylinder before you started on anything else?

Have you called Datsport to discuss?

"Got a brake and suspension set up from datsport ##Mod Edit####"

The header "###Mod Edit####" is great too.
Why not "Need help, How do you bleed brakes properly"

Thats not a good start. Would be much better if you said " I am having difficulty in getting them working correctly"
You make it seem that the product is bad.

Call me & I will guide you through the correct procedure.

Feel like I've been sent to the principles office!!! Bad boy 20 lashes with the cane ! WTF

Anyway at no point do i state or think datsport gear is rubbish I've purchased a lot of stuff from you and I think it's all top quality. Sorry if you took it that way.

I have rung you already!

Just trying to determine what's wrong that's all cheers for your response

Bleed master first and generally rears and then fronts. Might not hurt to open a front bleeder in order to get more peddle travel to shove any air out the backs. Once they are done then re-do the fronts.
