Good call. The other issue that hurts the initial pedal stroke is sometimes rotors that have runout, or loose bearings, which result in the pads being "slapped" back a bit. Usually it's minor, but it can become an issue.

Newbe mech. but getting better. How do you check rotor runout (bearings are tight)? I am having issues with my brakes, new master, was going to replace calipers and power booster. Thanks.
