Default Info on bleeding/swapping pads..

I'm mainly looking to see if you guys who've flushed your brake lines and replaced the fluids found much of a difference in daily driving?

I guess I'm missing that new brake "sharpness". You know that crisp stop feeling that goes over time.

My pads are ok but I'm probably switching to Greenstuff etc. unless there are better options (haven't looked much yet)

Mainly just seeing if bleeding and swapping fluids is noticable since I hvae no actual braking problems.

no you won't notice much of a difference. however, if your brakes do not come on as well as they did before, you may have air in the brake lines.

I don't know... just seems like I need a little extra pressure to stop than before.
Could be my brain going on me. Also have had my pads for a year and 20k miles (were on it when I bough it) Probably getting new ones soon though.

I changed out the brake fluid on my last car and I noticed a "sharpness" difference. Of course the fluid was an opaque gray and about 3 years old!

You should bleed the brakes every 2 years no matter how clean the fluid looks.
