Dealer Installed New Brakes, Now Spongy Feeling!
I just had new brakes installed on my '03 Track (Brembo), and now they feel all spongy and seem like they aren't good at all.
Do they need like a wear in time? I am concerned they did not install the Brembo ones, but the stock ones, or something worse, is that possible?

that's impossible to install the wrong brake pads.
The OEM brembo calipers are harder to bleed. You have to really get all of the air bubbles out. You need to take the car back because it's not a good thing or safe to have a spongy brake pedal feel. They need to rebleed the entire brake system.

Got the car back they seem better. The dealer said the pads were not sitting right w/ the rotor, and that was causing the slow response when bedding the pedal. The invoice says they re-seated the pads.
