Well i wanted to treplace them because they are reall squishy, i bleed them and then a couple of hours later there crap again just want something better, or if anyone has found out where the bloody things leak i would like to know.
It is probably not the calipers. Replacing the stock lines with stainless steel braided lines will give the brakes a firmer feel. It sounds like you just have a leak somewhere. Are you losing fluid?
If the stock brakes are working properly they are excellent.
I too thought that the stock braking was excellent until I replaced my stock rotors with EBC prolite rotors, the pads with ebc HH sintered pads, and the master cylinder/lever with a nissin unit - After the switch the incredible difference left me in disbelief
I guess if you're not racing then the stock ones work fine though
I found out why my brakes were so weak, i traced it down to a tiny little crack in the caliper maybe from a high speed stone down the motorway or something, got a second hand one for 40 quid not too bad.
