Brake pedal has a “dead zone” at the very top of travel
03 coupe w/ brembos. The brake pedal has a dead zone of travel, maybe 1/2-3/4” at the top. It has newish pads and rotors (10k miles), stainless lines, and fresh fluid from about 4 months ago.
There isn’t any air in the system, the pedal never gets mushy, or sinks to the floor, etc.
What else can I check? I autocross pretty regularly and the brakes work fine (it stops really well) but I’ve never actually been able to get ABS to engage w/ VDC off. It feels like there’s a lack of brake force.
If I really have to stand on the brakes, it feels like I can get the pedal down halfway to the floor. Again it stops fine, the pedal doesn’t sink to the floor (no air in system) but I feel like there is something not quite right.
