Honda CRX Si Brake Woes

[Bob Roth]

If you are getting a hard pedal with engine off, I think everything is fine on the hydraulic side. If there is travel, I wonder about caliper flex.
Sometimes you can psych yourself out by feeling mushyness while not driving with the engine on when in fact to put that much force when rolling you would be locked up. Another thing, if the pads are not wearing square, which is common in a 2nd gen crx, I wonder how much distortion there is when the pad is not sitting square on the cylinder.

Also, have you tried another pad, Hawk blues for example.
