Curious about the visual difference between the legend calipers and mine.
Thanks, Jeff.

You're right, Mike. I see the slight difference, but they're the same general size, so it doesn't make a difference visually.

They're just a little longer, and that's about it. I also noticed that they come a little closer to the wheel than the stock ones do. I have the EX 16" wheels.

How are your brakes now that your getting used to them Jeff. I know at first you were concerned about a couple of things.

I'm still a little iffy on them. I've bled the brakes like what, 3 times now? I'm tempted to put in some new brake fluid. I've read that ATE Blue fluid is pretty good stuff. Right now, it feels like I have to push the pedal farther before the brakes will actually do anything. It's a lot more pronounced when I'm going 70-80.

Have you checked the condition of your rear brakes? The stopping power should be alot better than before.

The rear brakes are still brand new. I don't exactly remember when I got them installed, but it was maybe 4-5 months ago. It just feels like I have to slam the pedal before I got the stopping power that I want.

That's odd my pedal is very touchy.

I wonder if it's these Akebono pads... Well it's too late now, I'm stuck with them, lol. I can't think of anything else to do other than redo the brake fluid.

You could get better pads.

^ yeah. If you can't trust your brakes, you should definitely change them again. You absolutely need to be able to rely on your brakes.
I just changed my front ones again. They lasted two and a half years. Stock calipers, Brembo blanks and EBC greenstuff pads.
