brake system
my front brakes were spongy and have really no pressure and also my brake fluid was dirty .so my bro helped me bleed the front brakes and rear , and pads replaced . was a sucess , but then few days later the same problem apeared once again . what should i do , i really want a better braking system . my friend said he went to the junk and saw a white 90 gtu . should i do a 2nd gen front brake swap . has any body done this and if so any major modifications required?

I bought new rubber hoses for the front brakes and the brakes were much harder after that. Have a look at the hoses on the front. If they look cracked when you bend them a bit then replace them.
