Was a super hot day today. Well over 90. Drove my car down to a shop to check on somethings - about 35 minute drive. Everything was fine. On the way back, aside from the minor starting clitch, my brakes seemed like when i stepped on them, the car would just slowly come to a stop. Peddle was a little spongy but didnt sink. I just had new ss lines and 19mm master put in. New fluid too about 2 months ago. Got the car home, pumped the peddles for a bit and then it seemed to brake ok again. Is it likey its just air in the lines? Funny how it took 2 months to start a problem. Reservoir is full and no leaks. Any advice appreciated.

The emergency brake was off. the red light would of been on. The other thing is, I had the car up on jack stands, wheels off. I noticed with the front rotors, there would be a very slight rubbing with the pads when i turned it by hand. I planned on doing the rotors bearings and pads soon. Would that indicate a sticky caliper? had the emergency brake on and car in gear. dont think that would make any dif though. Do the calipers need a rebuild? they dont leak.
