^^^ Bump.

Would also like to know this. Did a conversion on my CK about 2 weeks now and the brake pedal has the same spongy feel.

Pads are EBC Greenstuff on the front and rear.

Waiting on a set of SS Lines but want to know if anything can be done to resolve the problem in the meantime.

having done this conversion about 3 years ago , i replaced the master cyliner to one from the mivec did not work, replaced the bias did not work either, replaced shims worked perfect, why i dont know.... :shock:

also i belive some one mentioned that the pads have a little raised section or tab i can remember that indicates inside and outside.... i think smalls knows more about it, this also affects the performance if its incorrect ...

i was getting one for $1800 complete with handbrake cables
but i got the one from a cs instead
it has shoes inside a drum just for the handbrake and attached to the drum is a rotor and caliper
the CS3A handbrake cable works with very minor adjustments to the sleeve around it
will try to get up some pics
and what are these shims that might improve brake feel?

But I suppose the rotor is a bit harder than stock, it still standing up to the EBC's after a year of use.

But I would really like to get my hands on some hawk pads next. I find that the EBC green stuff does need some heating up to bite good, even though they say it has a good cold bite.

I have the same setup on my car. The EBC pads really do need heating up before u feel a difference in the pad performance. But they work really well once they do. I recently upgraded to SS Braided lines and the pedal feel is much stiffer than before.

Rudman do you know if Hawk makes pad for the CK rear setup? When I was searching I couldn't find anything so I went with the EBC instead. Wouldn't mind trying them out myself.
