I think I'm finished with the front brake upgrade.

Actually that part was done some time ago. I couldn't keep air out of the rear line after installing a 4th gen master cylinder. I found out that the flare on the line going into the rear output of the master had flattened out, and was letting a little fluid to pass by. Installed a new line, bled the system, all seems good so far. I also had a slightly loose connection at the right rear caliper where the hard line connects to the connects to the brass block for the banjo bolt. Need some more miles on the brakes, then do the lock up test and adjust the proportioning valve.

Overall good pedal feel? How much travel do you get? Being that we will have the EXACT brake setup when mine is done I'm curious to know.

It feels about the same now as the stock setup I have on the V6, maybe just a bit more stiff (maybe the M/C with the smaller piston?). I can sit on it at a stop light and it doesn't sink to the floor any longer like it did with the small leak. Overall feels pretty good Cool
