I recently installed 4 slotted anddrilled rotors and replaced all brake pads with ceramics. But my breaks feel's a little to soft,,,I wana have quicker response. How do i make them more responsive? Do I need to bleed?

Check all your brake hose's and make sure there not leaking. Did you brake in the new pads? or did you put them on and went out and slamed on the brakes? If you wen tout and slamed on them take them off and sand the pads and rotors. You may have glazed them. Any time you change brake pads you dont want to do any hard braking for about 200 to 500 miles. Did you replace any calipers or hose's? after that only thing that comes to mind is your Master cylinder is going bad.

just realized ur car is a 07.....mostlikely you got ur pads and rotors glazed. Also ceramic pads dont grab to hard untill they are warmed up.
