I filled my newly rebuilt brake system with dot5 in the spring of 
98.  At that time the brakes always felt a little spongy but I 
decided to live it since they stopped the car just fine.  After 
the car sat for a winter, the following spring when I started 
driving it again the brakes were rock solid and have been so ever 
since.....
