You did just the fronts correct? Did they give you a price on the rear?

The padel seems softer than stock... The mec. said it will get more firm after than pads and rotor break in....
I would have the brakes rebled. You should not be losing pressure. That is probably why they feel slightly soft. IMHO, it's doubful break in will make them feel much more firm. I had the same issue with my Brembos when i changed to stainless lines. I had to have them bled a second time and now they are perfect.

Nice brakes. Enjoy.

I agree with the previous guy.

Bleed the brakes, air in the system is pretty much the only culprit for soft pedal feel

if u only did the front bbk. wont your car look all funny since u have mis-matched brakes? and wont it affect your cars stopping ability since not the same amount of brake force is applie dto both F/R?

Yes, any front-only BBK that has't been thoroughly tested to see if retains the stock brake bias can negatively affect stopping ability/lengthen braking distances. It may "feel" more powerful under initial braking, but that's because the fronts now grab harder for less pedal pressure (the bias has been thrown forward) but in reality you've reduced the line pressure to the rears as well, leaving them to do less work. This actually results in less powerful braking to all four wheels and can lengthen stopping distances.

Has this kit been tested and sized properly with the 06 brake MC and system?

I don't know if this kit has been tested and sized properly with the 06 brake MC and system.
But it brakes much better than the stock brakes.
AFAIK, rear brakes are mostly for assistance only because once you step on your brake the weight of your car are transfered to the front.

You might. Find out a price first.

Also did you say that kit is a 355mm? It looks like a 332mm to me. Most of the 355's I've seen on oem 19's don't have much room.
