Had the car inspected for the next DE (21-22-23 july @ Tremblant). Rear left wheel bearing had play so i decided to let them deal with it (did it once and had to take 3 beers just thinking about it).

When i got the car back, the brake pedal wasn't as firm as it used to be... Humm... I turn around and bring it back. The mecanic had took the caliper off and somehow manage to pull on the handbrake mecanism so he had to play with the ajustement screw. He set it back but it wasn't to spec. So he took the wheel off again ajusted it to spec, and the pedal got firm as it was before. He didn't play much with it, just a bit made a huge change on the pedal feel.

So, spongy brakes??? Bleed and check the rear clearance.
