Brake Adjusting

Is there a way to adjust the brake pedal so its more sensitive?
theres a lot of play between where it sits and when i press it to actually stop do my brakes need to be bled? or is there a way to adjust that?

i agree with ekindbest. StopTechs seen to be the best quality and it's what I use also.

hmmm I could have sworn my brakes about a year ago and before were super sensitive ... And now they are not so I thought I needed to replace my rotors ... Then at the same time I'm getting new brake pads ... (only the rears) as the fronts still have like 70% on them ...

Maybe I need to change my brake lines too? ... eh I'll try the rear rotor/brake combination first

Don't forget bleeding the system/fresh fluid. Brakes are something you really want to take care of.

"You must also keep in mind that you are feeling/perceiving some increased braking force because of the regenerative brake system when you let off the accelerator or coast. It's normal and once you get accustomed to it you'll be fine."

What are you quoting that from?

To the OP, I would agree with bleeding your brakes. I have been meaning to get SS lines as well.
