This thread was inspired by a post in another thread. I just didn't wanna hijack the other thread, so here's mine.

Quick question:

Is your brake pedal real mushy feeling? I just put mine on, and have bleed the fronts pretty damn well, and the brake pedal feels incredibly mushy...I know it's the norm for them to be mushy feeling, but I don't know if it's supposed to be this mushy. Any thoughts or suggestions would help.

I have always wondered why people have mushy brake pedals from a z32 swap. So I figured that if we put our minds together, we can figure it out.

First off, my setup is on a s14 (1996)
Calipers:1991 z32 TT calipers. Aluminum, 30mm.
Rotors: X-drilled and slotted Brembo rotors.
Pads: EBC Greens and currently Hawk HP.
Lines: PDM-racing conversion lines.
Master Cylinder: Stock

As far as mushyness goes, it's not at all mushy. I have only bled my lines once, and that was during the install.

I am also against using a z32 Master Cylinder, because it was setup for a z32, and not a 240sx with a super-heavy front bias in braking. It is usually required to swap all 4 calipers to use a z32 MC safely.

If everyone else could post their setup, and mushyness level, and we can (hopefully) figure out a solution or cause.
