Hi guys..
I just changed my brake system (front n rear) to honda oddesey type (single pot).
Now having some issue with the brake travel.
Last time when using stock, tekan halfway the brake edi biting. Now with this new setup, I need to press until 3/4 then the brake onli starts to bite.
The mechanic who installed for me did almost 10 times brake bleeding and the results are the same. So, is this "feel" normal when upgrading to big brakes?
My regular mechanic said big cc cars also feel like this. I was like..er....He did brake + ABS bleeding + replace with higher grade fluid. Brake feel almost the same.
So, my question is does upgrading to a double layer servo solve this problem? Which model can be plug and play?
u need to change to dot 4 or dot 5.1 brake fluid..Apart from that,u need to go to other mechanic la bro as i think the mechanic dont know how to do the work around on using small brake servo with big brake kit..(i've encounter the same thing when i do it 1st time.the fella even pour in dot 3 brake fluid whereby its resulted to empty feeling when braking after a hard drive session..my advice go and bleed once more with dot 4 or dot 5.1 with a different mechanic)..by the way,where are you staying?..maybe u can go to the mechanic that does the 2nd time bleeding for me..i've also upgraded with kevin..
one more thing..just realized that u've upgraded the rear oso..if rear oso using disc brake,then the only thing to do is to find a chop shop with master brake pump for toyota ae111..after change that confirm no more 3/4 feel...i just change the front rotor & calliper only..no budget for rear+bigger master pump
