Hi everyone.
I swapped my front LX brakes for a full EX upgrade including:
New 10.2" Rotors, New Pads, EX Calipers, Hangers, New Lines, EX Knuckles (incl bearing/hub).
Now everything seemed to be okay, I have bled and re-bled my lines until I was blue in the face, but I feel like my brakes are slipping. For instance, if I am coming to a slow stop I can hear a loud vibration (with no wheel shake) and what seems to be a slipping sound as if the pads were not compressing hard enough on the rotors.
Has anyone done this upgrade leaving the stock 13/16 MC and LX Brake Booster as I have and have the same or better results? My MC had just been replaced so I didn't fancy replacing it, and my car has the same prop. valve as the EX.
I believe the solution may unfortunately be getting a 7/8 MC.
