After BBK Install, soft 2inches :D
Did bbk install today. Braking power is awesome compared to stock 2 cylinder calipers. Braking is very progressive, but brake pedal is not so hard as it used to be on initial brake press.
It is not spongy, just 1-2 inches are empty and then very linear brake feel.
Bleeded all in correct order, inner nipple first. Master cylinder never went dry during install/bleeding.
Any thoughts?

I have the Akebonos. When bleeding the brakes, the pedal is rock hard and immediate. As soon as I turn on the car, the pedal has travel before retardation begins and some of the firmness is gone. The car stops just fine, though. It's been this way since new. Something designed in and I can only speculate as to why.

here is the thing, response of the pedal is little worse compared to original 2 cylinder calipers, but braking power and braking modulation is way better with Akebonos.. Just initial brake press is too soft.... Try to re-bleed later this week.
