Brakes sucked when I got the car, leaking caliper, bad master. Got all new wheel bearings, new rotors, pads, master. No leaks in the system. I have to mash the brake pedal down and it still takes lots of effort to stop. My last 914 was not like this. The mechanic adjusted them but think he forgot to check the pedal adjustment. Any tips to this? Am I missing something. This is about the brake pedal movement to stopping the car. Even at a red light I need to use alot of pressure to keep the car from rolling. The brake pedal should not have that much effort. Really makes the car not fun to drive. And there is really no bite to the calipers to slow it down if I have to slam on the brakes.
