Thumbs down

Just recently had some New Tarox drilled and grooved front disk and Tarox pads fitted to my car at Powerstation.

Done about 800 miles in them now and to be honest not sure everything is right. The Peddal seems to have to travel a fair way until I get any decent amount of braking and then it feels very spongy. I'd have thought that I would get a lot firmer feel with a change of Disks and Pads.

My car is and MY00 Turbo, so has 4 pots on the Front. Anybody got a clue what I should look at. The car seems to stop well if I push hard enough.

Thanks all

Scoobs, get them to re-bleed the brakes. Or get them to replace the fluid with some DOT 5.

And if your still not happy consider some braided lines and maybe a master cylinder support bracket.Almost everybody that fits braided lines report a good improvement in pedal feel(I certainly noticed a big difference), however opinion seems to be mixed about the support bracket.
