Hey everyone,

This past weekend I put Akebono pads and R1 Concepts rotors on the 190E...excuse my surface rusty undercarriage...





I bedded the pads as per the instructions. 4x hard braking to near ABS trip 50-10mph..followed by 1x 65-15.. Park it for 20min..

They said it would take some 500 miles for the brakes to be fully bedded and all that jazz. Its bee around 400 or so maybe. My main complaint is that my brake pedal feels squishy/mushy. With my previous pads/rotors it was nice and firm. The only problem was the rotor warp and jitter...

I dont know why my pedal feels squichy/mushy now.. I didnt open any brake bleeders/ports.

Also my rear passenger brake is squealing like a pig. It just started doing this I think Tuesday/Wednesday. When I was putting the one pad in the shim/plate thing popped off and I had to re-secure it. I didnt put any anti-squeal paste. The pads did have a small bit of it in their box (I noticed AFTER I was done)...

Anyone have any ideas or what to do next?
