Default brake pedal feel

hi any one shed some light on this, just replaced stock brake hoses with goodridge stainless ones bled the system according to the book but the pedal dosent seem to have stiffened that much....how much more stiffer should it be or is it likely to need bleeding again....

I noticed this with mine tbh, but being as it was done by TSL and then RCMS i dont think anything about it.
But like you i was expecting something more.

same here i've just had mine done 1 day ago and just had a long hard drive. it still feels spongy like before!!! I guess the braided hoses r much better quality and will last longer than the oe pipes. performance will be the same for normal/fast driving but on track u might benefit when u constantly pushing it hard and might feel a better direct feel.(i guess)!!!

Pads make a much bigger difference to pedal feel than any other component.

Indeed but I forgot to add brand new discs all round (Brembo HC) and Mintex 1166's

Granted only 15 miles into running in period
