So.............i had to bleed the rear brakes as i removed the rear subframe to fit new bushes, and i'm 100% sure i got all the air out (wasn't that much as i had the hoses clamped) and now the brakes feel weird.

They don't seem to have the initial bite as before, and the pedal feels firmer than before, almost like the system is pressurised or something.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Did you replace with new banjo fitting copper washers?
To me the Mustang brake pedal is always very firm comparing to other cars.
As far as clamping hose someone said it can damage the hose by bending the steel braiding inside the hoses so IDK if that's the case.

Clamping a brake flex line is a really bad idea. Vacuum line, heater hose ok, but not a brake line.
