fitted my 2 ltr 256 disc and callipers today, all brand new.

replaced the whole system with dot5.1 fluid, halfords own, and then bled the fuck out of each nipple.

but i was expecting the brake pedal to feel alot harder and less spongier than it does, am i expecting to much or....?

also it pulls noticeably to the left, but im getting new tyres and tracking tomoorow and the calliper doesnt appear to be sticking, so im going to ask them to take a look at the whole system whilst im there, any ideas what it could be before igo? or am i just to expectant of the whole system?

cheers fazx

i've had a blocked pipe which stopped the calipers working very well, they would work, but felt all wrong
