My brake pedal travels farther and smoother/lighter now that I have rebuilt S calipers from Eric. I think it is just that the pistons move much more now than they did when the caliper was frozen up with corrosion. I bled them one weekend and they felt good. I used a rubber mallet and the push the pedal method. I have stainless steel braided brake hoses and a stock 19mm master cylinder. I have M calipers in the rear. I did a few spirited drives with the brakes in "good" and safe condition, then bled them a second time the next weekend. The pedal felt more responsive and was firmer. The quality was "great".
The brakes have since firmed up a bit as they have become bedded in on the rotors which had odd wear patterns from the corroded calipers.
I would drive normally if the brakes feel safe and bleed them again on the weekend. You will probably find a little bit of air but that can make a big difference.
No comments about the adjectives, I'm just a kid
Here's Eric's work
