brake pedel feel

today i had my front pads replaced. i have rotora slotted rotors with ceramic pads and i HATEEEEEEEEEEE the pedal feel. i feel like i have to press the pedal to the ground to stop. its so annoying. i originally thought it was because my rotors/pads were crap so i upgraded to the slotted ones and its all the same. the only thing i could think of now would be to install stainless steel lines or legend calipers. any thoughts on what i should do?!

Just flush your brake system. 2 sets of hands, jacks and like 2 bottles of brake fluid. Should do wonders. $6?? At most.

i had the same issue's, new pads, new rotors and bleed the system, still not much improvement. then i did the stainless steel upgrade, much improvement. when it warms up, maybe even this weekend, i am gonna rebleed the system again since i bought the mityvac that runs off my compresser.

from what i've heard, those SS brake lines really help with the brake pedal feel. i really dont like mine either, its mushy as hell. def going to upgrade to the SS lines in the near future. also, TL-P's have a more mushy feel compared to type-S'
