I recently purchased an 01 S3 with 4800 miles. It runs great, however applying rear brakes has very little effect. I inspected rotor, pads and caliper an they appear fine. I bled the brakes, no air. I only have a few inches of pedal travel and it doesn't feel mushy or pulse. Any thoughts?

thanks

Yes my fronts are good also. I wonder if there are upgrades (cheap) to the rears to make it perform better?

You can install a master cylinder from a ZX7 which will improve your braking. Do a search at T595.net. They can be found on ebay cheap.
