Default Re: Which brake is better?

I installed the Posi Quiets 2 days ago. Went off of the post linked in this thread, as well as the Front Brake Replacement Link in that post.

Install took about probably a little over an hour to do the two fronts. I did it in the dark, it was my first time doing a brake job, and I was checking everything out as I went, so it can be done much quicker. After I installed them, I went out and did the bedding process from that thread linked above. 8 or so stops from 60-10 in a row, followed by driving around for a few mins.

Overall, they seem to work well. They definitely feel different, and I think that they may need to be just used more, as they seem to have alot of pedal travel. Hopefully they will start to grab better as they get more and more used.

One of the things that I didn't see mentioned was bleeding the brake lines as you push the cylinder back in. My dad, who was helping me, was adament about me doing it, but I didn't as it wasn't in the instructions. He said that it can damage the ABS system to push the fluid all the way back into the reservoir. He is a mechanic that has mainly worked on older cars, and diesel trucks. Is that something that I should be concerned about in the newer cars?
