Thanks, I forgot to post that. They feel much more reliable as they do the same thing every time. They were somewhat unpredictable before. Pedal is firmer and higher. Feels like it is supposed to be this way

Thank You,

That's some nasty brake fluid. I'm glad you got it cleared up with a flush. I hope no one put in DOT5 silicone fluid previously. That stuff can wreck havoc on your brake lines if your car was designed for DOT3&4.
