How far does your brake pedal drop?
 
Mine seems like an inch or more. I'll measure tomorrow. The truck is way more sensitive. Seems to take more foot with that tiny car.

All the way to the floor if I see a speed camera or the cops :)

Mine usually goes in about an inch or less when braking normally. They're very high up and responsive.

Mine is just about the same, maybe an inch and a half at most. Very responsive:cheers:

I noticed a big difference on mine when I put new pads on. The very top works to slow me usually. If I'm on a backroad that doesn't mark when stop signs are coming up ahead then all the way down and even engaging abs but boy does it stop quick if it needs to.

No more than an inch or two. New pads and rotors last year.

Just measured. 2" exactly to hold stopped on a slight incline. Not pushing hard.

Pads and rotors new last year. Very few miles.

I think so big group of them merged onto the highway behind them. I then went to pass them and I guess this guy did not want anybody to pass. He looked like he **************** himself though good tires and good brakes are two things you don't cheap out on
