Brake Pedal Play
I was wondering how much play do you guys have in your guys brake pedal? In my car you need to press it down pretty far (around 3 inches) till you can actually feel the car slowing down..... From there you need to press it pretty firmly another 2 inches or so to slow the car down. I just got new pads for the front and resurfaced the rotors and flushed the brake fluid and put new fluid in too.... In my mom's honda accord (2004) you only need to slightly press on it for the car to start slowing down and after about an inch or alittle more the car would come to a stop. It's almost like it's alittle TOO sensitive(the accord) since it only needs a slight pressure on the pedal for it to start braking.... but thats what i like, cause it feels like i have more control of the braking. On the other hand, its kinda scary sometimes in my car cause when i need to brake quick there is a slight delay(cause of the longer travel in the pedal) AND i need to press real firm for it to stop, unlinke my moms car where only a slight pressure is needed..... I was thinking maybe its like this cause our car is heavy but the accord is a pretty big and heavy car too so i dont think thats the problem.... Are all solara's like this?? Or is there something wrong with my brakes?? master cylinder, stretchy brake lines, etc???
