So I changed my rear brake pads a week ago and pushed the calipers back to the correct place but when I use my brakes my car goes for another 4 feet before fully stoping do I need to bleed my breaks or what could it be anyone have some suggestions?? I'd be very thankful

@94Q45Beast when I changed my brakes I took the calipers off like normal didn't disconnect any brake lines I pushed the calipers back to The position needed in order for brake pads to fit then placed the brakes inside the calipers bolted them back on and pushed the brake pedal Untill it got stiff letting the brakes fully compressed against the rotar

Did you bed the brakes to break them in properly?
