noob brakes question not entirely honda related

[anzai]

hey guys just wondering why the brakes on my parent's polo isn't as immediate as my dc2r... its as if there is a delay between when you step on the brakes and when it actually bites

nothing wrong the stopping power, when it bites it does so HARD, its just the 'feel' is very different to my integra, is it because the polo has EBD (electronic brake distribution)? dont even know if it has it actually..

cheers

yes, the EBD will make the pedal feel different.

So will differing sizes of master cylinders

[madmott]

maby their is air in the break system, might just be the ebd making the pedal feel a bit sketchy

generally when there is a delay between the pedal pressing down and the brakes biting in it means there is air in the lines that needs to be bled off

but it could also be the EBD
