brakes feel stiff - should cup brakes feel different to 172ff?

[DuncCup]

Have only had my 172cup for a day and have noticed that i have to press on the bake pedal alot hard to get the same results. brakes dont feel as strong as my 172FF

is this normal in a cup or do you think i may need new disks / pads - was thinking when i take it into for the service to get some greenstuff pads - would i notice a difference?

cheers

I think the brakes are engineered to give more feel on the Cup's (go's a little way to make up for the lack of ABS I guess!). So yes - they should feel different.

Whether there is actually something wrong with your brakes....suggest you get them checked out if your worried.

Check the pads and maybe bleed the brakes if its not been done yet.
