    too many to list. See my Instagram.
    I have a Sequendra (converted Sequoia). I have StopTech on front and oem on back, but the brakes are still not stiff enough for me. Requires long push and lots of pressure to get some bite. Suggestions? Are there options for bigger rotors and pistons, and would that make a difference? Steel lines? Different master cylinder? I'm not mechanical so I'm looking for recommendations for making the brakes as responsive as possible. Thanks!

    Assuming your fluids are still clean and free of air. I would tackle it in this order. I had this same issue in my Evo 9 and after swapping out the pads to Project Mu and DBA Rotors, they were super sensitive afterwards. I skipped the SS lines cause I needed new rotors.

    New more aggressive pads,
    Stainless steel lines,
    Rotors,
    Calipers

    You want to see pics of my slotted rotors and calipers on my Evo 9? I haven’t done any brake mods to my truck. More than happy to oblige if you want to see it.
