old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 13/01/14 12:42 PM Share Posted 13/01/14 12:42 PM yep braided lines and pressure bled them twice. Old fluid was cactus after last track day so spent the time getting it all out.mushy isn't probably the correct term because there is a good pedal there it's just the feedback isn't there.I am reading quite a few posts both here and on other forums where they say the 4 piston pedal feel is crap compared to the twin and six piston setups so I am sure it is normal - I haven't ever really had good brakes before and I guess I just expected a rock hard pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 4 potters have a rock hard pedal and IMHO the pedal feel is better than the PBR premiums they replaced. The pedal is lighter obviously but I wouldn't say it lacks feel.If you pump the pedal and hold it with the engine off does the pedal stay hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the standard BA lines (sedan) when I put the territory rears on. A few years on and the brakes still work and I'm alive (for now anyway).

Because the pedal is lighter I am noticing a larger amount of pedal travel - it may be the same and just feels different I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went braided lines too and they felt weird at first. I have read that the brembo pads are rubbish. I've only put 150kms on mine as I don't have a spare yet so reluctant to drive it with my luck. They are a lot better now thought.I bled over 1L of fluid through to get all the air out. Which I think I did haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only drove it 20 mins to get home so ill see how it goes. Driving to sydney from brisbane Friday so if it was going to get better it will by then.

If you are buying new braided lines just ask for FG F6 rear lines for the standard 4/1 brake package.Also it is not recommended to run mismatched lines. If you are going braided do both front and rear at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
