Is 350 fsport brakes not working
Late last night me and my pops put in new front brakes on my is350 f sport we looked at one of the threads and it helped us finish the whole process. But now that we went around the corner the brakes wont depress. I put my whole foot on the brake and its nots not braking. I rechecked them this morning with my dad and its all fine dont know why its doing that. What should i do .

If the pedal is soft/spongy feeling then I'd suspect you have air in the lines.
(Kind of odd situation for just a pad change)
If pumping the brakes a few times doesn't get that feeling any better then you'd probably want to try bleeding your brakes.
It's not a fun process, but having a helping hand can work wonders.
Plenty of YouTube videos on that process if you need some references.

Did you disconnect the brake lines that carry the hydraulic fluid? If so, you need to bleed the air out.
If not, then pump the brakes a few times with the engine running before driving off. Make sure the pads seat to the rotor.
Always pump the brakes a good 7-10 times immediately after installing new pads and/or rotors.
