Brake pedal depth

[a_Y]

How much does your brake pedal go down until it is stiff? I need to step till it's just past the throttle. Is that normal?

Mine is approximately 1.5cm from nothing to full.

What brake set up are you using? I have stop tech pads with oem discs, calipers, lines, fluid. I had dealer bleed the system numerous times including abs and dsc. Nothing seems to improve the pedal feel. The car stops very well esp after using stop tech pads but the feel just isn't there. I need to step the pedal till it levels with the throttle for full. Any help would be appreciated!

Sounds similar to the original Alcon issue. Are the Stoptech "Alcon" replicas?

I'm not sure... But I had oem brake pads before and it was still like this. I hoped changing all these would solve the problem but it didn't. Any suggestions on what to do?

I've never really thought about physical pedal travel until now.

Past the throttle sounds unusual.

Fresh rotors and pads really shouldn't change the travel of the pedal after the initial press on the pedal.

I run AP's with pagid RS29's and the pedal is absolutely solid within an inch.

I tried everything.. Even replacing master cylinder and booster. The only thing I haven't changed are the calipers. I love the car but hate this brake issue =(

How was the brake bleeding done ?

The dealer did it for me. When the master and booster were replaced they bled it with the GT1 computer. They also tried manual as well as pressure bleed after bleeding with GT1.

Is there a very specific procedure that they should do it? Any pointers? Thanks!
