Brake Pedal Softness/Responsiveness

Hey everyone,

First off:
1993 190E 3.0
Front: 94 E420
Rear : 96 SL600
500E Master
SS Lines / ATE SuperBlue...


Now: My situation is: the brake pedal feels softer than I remember it being when I first bought the car...The brakes dont seem to engage very high in the pedal stroke...they seem to engage about somewhere after 1/4 pedal or half pedal. In situations where I need to stop I usually go down to 3/4 pedal and ease up to half pedal.

When I first bought the car it had the stock 190E 2.6 master on it, it died about a year later so I opted to put the 500E master on as it was actually cheaper than the 190E one...

Now, my 300SD's--which has a new master and new front calipers--pedal feels MUCH more firm (allbeit less powerful) than my 190's...

I'm not really sure if I'm describing the whole thing as accurately as I can..

I've bled all 4 corners via the 2 man method. I even bought a power bleeder and used nearly three quarts on a full bleed of the system...

I put on new rotors this past spring, PBR rotors to be exact.


If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. I'm not really sure what the problem could be...
