What else did you do besides change the drums? Why did you change the drums?

I've çhanged front brake disks, pads, caliperes and rear drums, shoes, everyones spring including adjustment parts, wheel cylinders. Everything is new.

I bought car and decide spend more money for my sefty...

P.s. I bleed brakes five times based on honda manual ( front drivers, front passenger, rear passenger, rear drivers)

re: Spongy brakes [solved]

do you have ABS?
Did you drain fluid by chance? ABS need to be bench bled if air got in.

re: Spongy brakes [solved]

are you losing fluid from tank?
Pipes?
Have someone else do the bleeding? Many people find out their method was faulty somewhere.

Checked tubes - dry. the liquid level does not change. I bled the brakes with an assistant. I think the problem is in the master cylinder, because when the engine starts, the pedal almost goes to the floor ...

Also I checked hose from brake booster, and i think he works

re: Spongy brakes [solved]

i solved this problem. maybe someone will help. I mixed up the right and left front caliper. I understood this due to the fact that the bleeder was directed downwards, and not upwards😅
