Hello Z community. I just got the car back from getting the front and rear Z1 2 Piece Akebono Rotors on and it doesn't brake like I expected.
With the OEM rotors and pads, just a small amount of pressure and it stopped on a dime, but now with these new rotors and pads, it takes a lot more pressure to come to a complete stop, unlike the OEM did. To come to a complete stop, I feel like the pressure is way more than it was before. The new set slows me down fine, and that pressure feels about right, but its the coming to a complete stop that doesn't feel right. I don't know if this is because the "new" hasn't worn off the pads and rotors yet, or if there is air in the lines. I only have about 40-50 miles on them of light braking. Maybe they just didn't bleed the lines well enough or something, but I just don't have a lot of experience with diagnosing the symptoms so I'm looking for input from you guys. Any help/info would be appreciated! I purchased the sprinkle slotted rotors, and the pads are Hawk (HPS I think).
