I have a question about my '93. I think this is rotor run-out and I need some thoughts on it.
At highway speeds after about 5 or 6 miles my brake pedal drops about 3 inches further than it does at around town speeds. If I pump the brake once, it is back to high and firm. I had a similar problem with my '69 but once the brake pedal dropped it would not pump backup without bleeding the system.
I took the car to a PA. state inspection place and they claim they can not find anything wrong with the brakes. They not only inspected the system, they took the car for about a 15 minute test ride.
Is this "temporary" loss of pedal a normal thing on C4s?
