Hydraulic's 101. When you change one end of the system and not the other to match. Of course you will get different a pressure. The master cylinder may be the same. But what I'm getting to is the reason for the different feel. Throw in the electronic ABS. That changes the brake feeling too. Give you a question. Think about it. How many different things you can think of, that will give you a different feeling of the brake pedal?

I'm still not sure what you mean. My sport 370 came with akebonos, my other car I did a conversion on and it has the exact same setup as the sport and doesn't have the exact same pedal feel, most likely because no two cars are alike. The pedal on both cars are very very similar now though. Thanks for the help again Rusty and everyone else!

What I was getting at. What things that can make the pedal feel different. Different pads, miles on pads, rotor material, brake lines, brake fluid, ABS, air in the system, different shoes, going from a soft tennis shoe to a stiff work boot, or anything in between.

How many things did you change, mess with when you did the change over? All of this is food for thought. Teaching you how to use your noddle.

I didn't think about that. I put stainless steel lines on it, r1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors, stoptech pads, and flushed with Valvoline fluid. That's a lot more than a stock sport z came with so that could explain the pedal feel difference.
