Try bleeding them once or twice in the order I posted. Trust me. I had to bleed multiple times to get the firmness close to stock.

Thanks I only did the front. These Brembos only have 1 bleed screw on the outside of the caliper these are massive as they have to stop a 700HP Camaro they came off maybe there is an air bubble on the inter section of the caliper

The Regular SS calipers have 2 and a crossover pipe this set has no pipe and 1 bleed screw I think even the pads look different ?

I would definitely try back to front starting with right rear, left, front right and front left.

It's most likely a bleed issue.

Take another look.....these are the Gen6 Camaro (Alpha) calipers running on the PPV 345mm rotors. There is no external fluid transfer pipe, true, but there are definitely 2 bleeders on each caliper.

Pads are the same spec as on SS sedan (with earlier caliper configuration) - D1474A, with the small pad dampers, which may not clear OE 18" steel wheels.
