I have put about 1200 miles on it in the last 1 1/2 months and the soft pedal deal just came up in the last 2 weeks.. Does Unique have a pad with more bite? I don't care if it chews up these rotors..U can see on the rotors that these pads arn't biting..Thanks again...
When did you chg fluid and do the other "stuff" you mentioned above... i.e., did this problem begin right after you chg'd the fluid? If so.... that's more than likely the issue. Did you use high quality DOT 3 or 4 fluid? Did you bleed in proper sequence... back right, back left, front right and lastly front left?
Or, was the problem before you changed fluid and that's why you changed it? If so, most likely not the fluid at all... you'll need to check calipers and pads.
