I just installed this setup last week, and I have an issue with the results. The initial bite and stopping power seems good, but I need to put a lot more pressure on the brake pedal to come to a complete stop, and the brakes have a wooden feel as I come to a stop. The OEM setup was nice, except for the copious amount of dust, and I was expecting no less with the new components, but I'm a bit disappointed. I didn't bleed the brakes as I didn't have time, but plan to soon. I don't think I glazed the pads as I did a couple short laps around the block testing the brakes and being gentle. If all else fails, I can remove the pads, lightly sand them and reinstall.
Does anyone else have this combo, and if so how would you rate the stopping power and feel?
