I decided I needed more aggressive brake pads, so we splurged on a set of Akebono ceramic pads as they are supposed to have very good "bite". Got them installed with no unusual problems, did NOT open the hydraulic system. Now the pedal is very spongy. Does not feel like a brake pedal at all, but like a big spring. I can push the pedal to the extent of its movement and the springy feeling never stops. Just gets harder. I bled the system, mostly because that is the only thing I could think of that could be a problem, as there are no leaks. May have made a slight improvement, maybe not.
Any thoughts? Could it be the pads? I don't think I'm going to reinstall the old pads to find out. At least not yet.
