Sounds like they didn't properly bleed the calipers out correctly.

What those guys said. If the only thing that changed was the calipers, then they probably didn't bleed the brakes properly. It just sounds like the shop you're going to is more concerned with bleeding your wallet.

Well Thursday the calipers were changed and it was very soft
Tuesday they re-bled everything and it was better, but not the same feeling as before changing the calipers. Also they isolated the rear lines with clamps to see if the caliper was the trouble but same feeling still which made them lean to the master cylinder.
Press hard the braking is really good. Press lightly it slows down but its not predictable vs the travel of the pedal.

When I replaced my pads over the weekend I noticed that the front pads were almost new, but my rear pads were worn half way down. In your experience, is this normal wear?
Thanks!

Yeah. No problems there.
I'm thinking maybe i over tightened the e-brake last time. It's like 8 or 9 clicks rights?

If thats the case, then I don't know. I guess nobody else has noticed their rear pad wear being more aggressive than the front.

Your calipers have never been replaced?

I would bet that they are sticking. Most people have replaced them at least once.

I wouldn't know too much about the rear caliper issue as I still have drums. I have yet to replace anything back there but I should probably give them a once over some day.
I have, however, heard of the rear calipers wearing down quicker than the front on newer gens of several vehicles because of how the brake biasing was adjusted to give vehicles less nose dive like vehicles of old. I could be wrong and don't have concrete evidence to back that up.

Interesting. Next time I do brakes I'll give you a call for a new set of rear calipers. Thanks mike.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly the reason why. It's happened on my old Accord, I'm sure it's happened to the first owner of my current Accord, and it just happened to my grandfather's 08 Accord. However, I think there is an issue with his rear brakes. The inside pads are completely worn to nothing, while the outside pads still have like a quarter inch left. Dafuck?
