My fiance's 05 Sprint ST's front brake lever can pull all the way to the grip even when moving... It is depressingly mushy and I'm taking it into the dealer next week to have them rebuild the calipers. NO brakes should be THIS SOFT on the lever. My 03S3, after lines, 5/8mc, pazzo levers, and thorough bleeding still occasionally go a little soft on me, but nowhere near as bad as her sprint. When they have new pads in em, my S3's brakes are super tight and it stoppies on demand.

After 6,000 miles of hard braking, I guess I should expect it to start getting a little softer.
