I have the same panel and it looks just like his. It's just the way they're made I guess.

Installed a new Denso radiator and new thermostat Saturday. Took around an hour and total cost from RockAuto for the parts was $93 shipped to my door. Got a quote from a local Firestone about a month ago for grins and giggles just to see how much they wanted to rape me for (don't worry I would never let Firestone touch my car) and they quoted me $691 lol. So glad I can DIY **** like this.

Did you replace the brake master cylinder also? If you didn't installed the brembo one, then the the pedal will "feel" a little mushy, but the brakes are working just fine. Same things happen when 240SX guys upgrade to 300ZX brakes.

The standard master cylinder has a 1" bore, on Brembo equipped cars, the master cylinder has a 1 1/16" bore. That translates to more fluid with the same pedal movement. You went from 4 (or 6) brake caliper pistons to 12 caliper pistons that need to be moved.

If I double pump mine they bite hard, is that still the master cylinder?

Since we are on the topic, what else causes mushy pedal if you've bled the brakes well ?
