1999 9-3 SE 5-door, auto, ABS, 41,000 mi. Can you offer suggestions to help with a soft brake pedal? I replaced the front discs and pads this weekend. Everything came apart easily and went back the same. Afterward, the pedal was soft which I didn't expect. There is maybe a couple inches of soft travel in the pedal before it starts slowing the car. I have bled the brakes now 4 times and while the pedal is better, it's not back to where it was. If I jab them once and then apply the brake, then they feel nice and firm. I'm bleeding them in this order: rr, lr, rf, lf. Between each bleeding cycle, I activate the ABS which I was told to do. What is your suggestion? Thanks, Steve
