Hey everyone, I've been having a strange issue with my brakes. I have a '87 325IS with stock brakes - I have rebuilt all the calipers, new pads and rotors and have flushed the fluid out within the past 2 years. The MC has been on the car for at least 50K (the past 8 years-since i've owned it) - it might be original to the car - 185K miles.
Here's the issue. When the car sits overnight, with the first pedal push in the morning, it feels like there is a "catch" or "sticking" in the middle of the push. Basically the pedal is smooth until halfway through the travel and then you can feel a somewhat large bump and then it goes the rest of the way through its travel. It never does it again - only the first push. The MC seems to be working ok... although I wish it had a little quicker pedal response. Sometimes it seems that there is a small delay in when I want to stop and when it actually stops. But with Hawk HPS pads, it ends up gripping well in the end.
Any thoughts?
