Rebuilt OEM calipers with kit and new Hawk HP+ Pads and I bled my system until the cows came home, and no matter what as soon as I cranked, it would feel like this. Seriously, I spent about 3 hours bleeding. Yes the nipples were on the top of caliper, yes I bled the ABS, yes I followed the FSM bleed order. I did an insane amount of research. Replaced the BMC, still the same thing (yes I bled the new BMC), even after another hour of bleeding. I finally decided to take the car up to a local lot and push it, and got a lot more confidence in them. Mine at least will definitely stop the car, well, when pushed all the way. Not sure if its just the behavior of the Hawk HP+ pads or what, but what i see is: First ~45% of the travel, I get very light braking
Next ~5% I get medium braking
Last 50% I get head snapping stopping. So, at least my car stops, and it will stop hard, but the pedal operation sucks, because I'll be coasting towards a car, not getting enough braking, push a hair farther, and if I don't use a feather touch, the car is jerking to a stop. Kind of looks like a teenager driving.
