I got my stage 1 brake kit, new rear rotors, and all Mintex pads installed today. Seems better but has a mushier feel. not sure if that's the newness of things, just how this setup is, or if I need to bleed my brakes/add brake fluid. But new slightly bigger rotors do look nice! :)

mushy feel comes from air bubbles

Use a power bleeder, totally makes a difference!

Plus if its a 4 piston caliper you will have to bleed them on each side of the caliper depending on how its setup.
