I would like to ask a question about my brake pedal. My brake pedal feel pretty spongy when I press on it to apply the brakes. I know it doesn't have anything to do with the brake pads because I just had the front pads replaced and checked the rear ones and they look good yet. I also had the brakes bled a while back. The brake fluid is fine also, I just changed all the old fluid in the reservoir. I was thinking maybe there is a way to adjust the brake pedal itself?

Maybe no problem when new pads are installed they are softer not hardened by heat. So pedal feels softer as long as stopping in good then all is good
