I didn't bleed the brakes, just changed out pads/rotors. The pads and rotors are both "budget" pieces, but I wouldn't think that that would make the braking any less firm (it might just make it take a little longer to stop until they're broken in). Should I go ahead and add a little brake fluid to see if that helps?
