Why do my Brembo's suck?!?
Rebuilt a set of oem Brembos and had them powdercoated.. Took my car to the dealer to flush all the old fluid out and the pedal still goes lower than my standard brakes.. If I double pump them they bite hard.. My car is the fully loaded 04 if that makes a difference.. I was expecting a big difference and better brake feel but my standard brakes are much more impressive right now..

well, ****, that was my best guess .
when you pc'ed the calipers, did you get reseal kits installed instead of re-using the old bolts?
also, read what your specific pads say about their proper bedding process, every pad has a different set of instructions iirc.

I put in all new seals.. Not sure about what it said for the bed in process, I'd have to look but I don't think that's the problem..

I know exactly what you're talking about. But, like buddy said they aren't really made for stopping on a dime. They're made to take you from triple digits to double digits quickly and cool-ly (and they do that very well). I just always figured that second pump had a lot more vacuum assist from the brake booster for some reason. Haha
