[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 614152, member: 9209"] When you change pads, the rotors should be resurfaced, and the pads should be bed in. Bedding in pads is a process where friction material transfers from the pad onto the rotor. Only when the rotor is coated in the pad material will it yield the greatest friction between the two. Also, if the pedal is hard, there is no reason to bleed the brakes. Next time, when you do brakes, try to step out of the OE bin a little, and try other compounds. Who knows, you might find something you might like. I've been having good luck with Porterfield on the track lately (Compound R4). When stock PBR pads will wear out, I'm more than likely will replace them with Porterfield street compound (Compound R4-S) [/QUOTE]
