Davheed,
Long time no see, how's it been buddy? Shoot me an email!!

The master cylinder would be one of the last places I would look if I was diagnosing a soft pedal unless I had any suspicion that it could have been bled dry and air had entered the system from the reservoir. Then it's time for a little reverse bleed action if the master cylinder has a bleed screw on it. If not, you're not going to be a happy camper.

subyke555, I'm very glad to hear that you are enjoying your new Big Brake Upgrade.

I do apologize that we are having trouble sourcing the larger 290x18mm vented rear rotors that come on the non-US models of the WRX, but now that they're finally coming to our shores on the Legacy GT it should only be a matter of time.

I think i am now officially the first european WRX MY04 owner with the 328*28 rotors with the ST-22 calipers :-)))))

I used to be one of these people

After replacing so many wheel bearings on customers cars, I finally got off my butt and checked my own, sure enough they were Shot. Since I replaced both front bearings and hubs, I have yet to feel brakes more solid than mine, including highly modified STi's.

If your brakes get spongy, then you pump them up, drive straight, then turn and they're spongy again, it's more than likely the wheel bearings/hubs. When I say hub, I don't mean the knuckle, the hub is the part your studs are in.

And Yes, I have my pedal adjusted too, I do it to many cars. In fact I believe I'm the one who did it to the car Stoptech is referring to, if you're referring to Ken
