    Brake change

    I recently done a brake change (rotor, pad) on my r32. It was my first time doing it but I did read on forum about it. Everything was replaced and I did only put grease over rubber seal like instructed on the pad box but not on the pin. I did a road test to break the pad like instructed but still, it doesnt break hard at all even after doing a bleeding. What did I do wrong

    Is the pedal firm or mushy?

    Pad are hawk and rotor brembo on a r32. I did bleed all the caliper from rear passager to front driver but the pedal does not seem firm like my old set-up. If i floor the brake pedal wheel wont lock at all. A friend told me I could be braking only on one pad in each caliper since I didnt grease every part . I will try rebleeding them while car is running since I only did it with power on last time.

    that what I was thinking also since both side of the disk have mark on them. I will grease the pin as you mentionned and bleed the line while car is running.

    What tool did u use to push the caliper pistons back into the caliper with?
    It is possible u fubared the bore in the caliper, causing the pistons to not travel well. But, in hindsite, that would not cause a mushy pedal.
