mine felt normal man maybe theres a little bit of air in the line or somethin



donno if the spectra one would fit although i dont know if that one would even be a improvement, the spectra only came with single piston calipers

hmm, so the spectra was bigger rotor but still had single piston?



yea i bleed it plenty! and again a few days later. i doubt its air in the line. maybe... also thinking it might be a failing MC. it might be leaking by, back into the reservoir.



but it locks up all 4 pretty well, that test was fun.... i should test my 60-0 distance.

yeah man to be honest i never really looked at the caliper itself on the spectra i already owned the xg calipers and when we had a spectra come into the shop it caught my eye as being larger than the j2s



i knew the bolt pattern was the same, measured the rotors out and it was the proper size so i ordered some directly from korea via madjohn



the rest was a afterthought hell for i know the calipers on the spectra could be uberlightweight 12 piston calipers

one day i parked next to a spectra, and i noticed the beefier caliper, but i couldnt see behind the stock rim if it was twin or single, but it definitely was bigger. the xg's had single piston that were very big, so idk, maybe the MC is having to push more fluid... but idk, that doesnt make sense cuz if the pressure is maintained, volume is irrelevant... no?

The marking on all the masters I've seen is on the side, next to the hyundai logo.

Sort of in the middle between the reservoir ports.
