Just upgraded my my brake system along with a major front end overhaul and I am really impressed by the difference in the feel of the brakes. They are as hard as a rock - reminds me of my 911! I did not change anything else other than bleed the lines real well and they went from a mushy VW feel to rock hard secure feeling! I read a bunch about brake upgrades and one of the recommendations was not to upgrade the MC without changing out the calipers - but in my case it made a world of difference.

It's a personal preference thing. I find I can't lock the wheels with a 19mm MC, as I just can't push the pedal hard enough (I'm a wussy). Once I finally, totally, bled the brakes with the 17mm MC, I didn't find them to be mushy at all, I just had to push the pedal a little farther, which is expected.
Have you tried this new 19mm MC with a really hard stop? That's the real proof in the pudding for me. I still wonder how much of an effect the flexing floor has on the feel. |
