I did my non type m to type m brake upgrade over the weekend as I got some 4 spotters for free of my boss, however I didnt get the type m rotors.
Everthing went on fine I had a little trouble bleeding the brakes but every thing seems fine now the brakes seemed really firm until I turned the car on and went for a blat. The brakes have to be almost on the floor before there is any retardation I assumed that the smaller stock rotors wouldnt be a problem as it would just be similar to running worn brake pads?
I also used the pads that were with the 4 spotters rather than buying new ones as I wasnt planning on doing the upgrade till I had the funds for the set of types front rear and new pads.
1. Should I buy a set of new pads and see how they go (dont really want to do this as it may only slight help but not fix the problem)
2. As the pedal feels very firm when you pump it up, have I not bleed the brakes correctly? (I printed of the s14 manual and followed it after searching for hours on end)
3. Should I try and get some type M rotors as the non ones are to thin?
4. take it to a brake place and confuse them with the whole type m non type thing and end up spending heaps of cash replacing brake master cylinders, getting the 4 spotters rebuilt etc because they dont know what there doing
