Default Green Stuff Brake Pad Question

I just installed the Green Stuff brake pads and my brake pedals seems a little soft. Is that normal for these pads or is there something I could have overlooked in the installation. The pedal feels as if there may be air in the line that needs to be bleed off.

You shouldn't have gotten any air in the system. Unless you took the brake line loose. The feel is a little different with the green stuff pads. I find that the brake feel is much better. With the stock pads I thought that the feel was a little vague and every now and then when making a slow rolling stop it would pull a little. With the Green Stuff pads the feel is more positive and never any pull.

I agree, I don't know how any air could have possibly gotten into the brake lines. I think the pedal just feels different and my imagination might be getting the better of me.

That is a great idea AZ, I believe I will. It's a beautiful day here on the coast of NC, about 80 degrees with a blue sky and light breeze. I think that my brake padel feel better already.
