E55 Brake Question

Mar 31, 2005 3 Replies

My 99 E55 has had what I would call 'spongy' brakes since I owned it with 39K miles. Front pads have been renewed and the brakes were bled twice. The dealer replaced the brake booster. I don't lose brake fluid so I thought the Master Cylinder was the last thing to consider. Is there anything I'm overlooking? Do I swap the Master Cylinder next? Thanks for your help JB

I would suggest trying some good aftermarket pads before going to that trouble. MBZ pads are notoriously soft (hence all the black dust on your wheels).

do you have flexible braided stainless steel lines? if not change the rubber ones to the braided stainless!

the case, minus a few cans!
