ok i did the brake swap for my 2.5i legacy. (STI MC and BB). i have a situation that i hope someone could help clear up for me. my brake pedal feels very soft hardly any resistance. when i press down on the pedal its very soft and then about 2-3 inches down my brake pedal stops almost like something isnt letting it compress. My car brakes when i press down on the brakes slightly but like i said it feels like theres no resistance at all in the pedal travel. does that make sense to you guys? i bench bleed the MC and bleed the brakes twice but for some reason i feel it has something to do with the brake booster rod length. When i uninstalled my stock brake booster i measured the rod length and then adjusted the STI booster to the same length. When i installed the STI BB rod to the back of the brake pedal the brake pedal didnt push out far enough to hit the brake light switch that turns the brake lights off. I didnt realize the brake pedal wasnt touching that switch and my battery died. Anyway i had to re adjust the rod and make it longer, but i think thats the reason why i have this really soft pedal with hardly no resistance for about 2-3 inches and then the pedal stops and doesnt compress. Sorry for the long explanation but im not to sure whats going on with my car.
