Question

I have the Godspeed 335mm kit on the fronts and my rear discs and pads are completely shot. The pedal doesn't feel as firm as I'd like (they've been bled twice already).

Would the worn rears greatly affect the feel from the pedal?

Did they bleed the whole system , or take the easy option and just bleed the fronts , when we fit a kit we do the rears as well , if they havent done the rears then this will still give a bit of spongyness

Yes, they bled the whole system - twice.

The rear discs and pads are almost non-existent.

Cool

Ian,

Mail me a price for a set of these shiny new rotors and pads and I'll consider lightening my wallet this month.

Of course, I'm looking for a fabulous deal from an existing and very happy customer

Have you any pics to wet my appetite?
