I just installed new pads & rotors on my 1994 E36. I used upgraded Cool Carbon pads with German made gas slotted rotors. After bedding in the pads correctly, the car has become uncomfortable to drive as in no rear suspension! It seems as if the rear brakes have pre loaded the read end and it will hop around like a low rider at times. I took the rear brakes back apart & re lubed all contact points with that trick CRC caliper grease. Helped a little. Any ideas except putting a set on Mintex rear pade on to see what happens? I used a pressure brake bleader to blead all the brakes. No ABS lite~ thinking of pulling the fuse on that just to see what happens. Any ideas on how to rid myself of the low rider hop?

Other factors?
Shocks? Bushings? Calipers sticking?
How many miles,

Hey Guys, I re-bled the brakes using a pressure bleeder. Had to crank it up to 30 psi to get the ABS to bleed. That solved it!

Thanks for the update. Good info to know. One of the cars in my household has an ABS light showing.
