Default brembo + 2pot rear not stopping well

have replaced the front 2 pots with brembos and that made a great difference to the front ,then did the back with 2 pots and now the back brakes much better too but it now seems that because the back is working so well its not letting enough weight to the front,
only thing i can think of doing is bleed the fronts completely and see if that helps
thanks matt

do you mean you have fitted the rears but not bled the the whole system ??
that could well have caused air in front lines as they are linked.............

Are you using the OE pads. Alyn could fix you up with something much better.
