new pads & SS lines for clk430 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I just got my car back from my mechanic and I had him install EBC Green Stuff pads and stainless steel brake lines. The car had the original pads prior and now the brake pedal is very "soft". I had the SS lines put on my 260E & 400E and the pedal feel was greatly improved...it is worse on this car.

Is there possibly air in the line? I checked the fluid and it is full. Is there some type of break in that would be different for clk than my other cars? The improved pedal feel was immediate on those.

Thank you!

try having the brakes bled again, and if that doesn;t work, the ebc pads may need some time to bed in to the rotors before they work better.

If they aren't better by Monday, then I'll have them bled again on Tuesday.

Thank you!
