Have you driven a X? The first thing I noticed was the different braking feel vs VIII's and IX's. I don't really care either way, but I always thought the VIII was awesome at stopping, but it did require some foot pressure. The X is more like the infinity you're describing.

it didn't feel like it stopped as well, and the pedal was much softer.
i don't know if the stopping power/distance has actually change, or if it is just a different feel, but i don't like it nearly as much as the brakes on my VIII.

And now that I'm thinking about it, I think someone on this thread said that SS brake lines made their pedal feel kind of like what you're describing. I'm sure they'll chime in.

I honestly never thought my Hawk HPS's were as good as the Brembo pads. The Hawk's were nice that they lasted longer and your wheels didn't look like they went through a coal mine after a short trip. But they just didn't have the feel. Maybe it is the pads. How long have you had them in there? Did you notice your brakes got worse after installing the Hawks? You can always try rebedding them or bleeding the brakes again. What I was always told was that while multiple piston calipers are superior in stopping, they may require more effort than single pistons. I'm not sure what brakes are on an M35.

i agree they are very touchy. at first it seems like there is no medium. but i just would like my car to be a little quick and firmer like that. i kinda like it but maybe not as extreme. and they have always had hawks idk what stock pads r like on my car

Anyone that has changed their fuel pump...
I am looking for the small metal o-clip that holds the filter on the bottom of the pump. If anyone has one from their stock pump still, or didn't use the one in their install kit, please PM me.
I know it's a long shot, but thought I'd put it out there before I go looking for something.
Thanks

Hey, just wondering if anyone is planning on AutoXing at Beaverun this coming weekend.
"Steel Cities SCCA Solo II Autocross July 12 & 13 Weekend at BeaveRun
The Steel Cities Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) hosts an all weekend Autocross. Registration is from 8:30 until 9:30 and competition runs from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. Cost $75.00 for the weekend includes event entry, gate pass and dinner Saturday night."
Single day pricing is also available. I'm seriously considering it...its been too long since the last AutoX/Time Trial .
