Sorry about taking the pics through the wheels, I really don't feel like jacking the car up and taking them off.

since my miata has rock hard (I said hard) brakes, the S feels a bit mushy, is it just normal like that? It's better today than it was yesterday, and I might try to bleed them again in the next week or so, but could be 20% better IMO.

I went from the S4 to the 4runner today and almost killed myself, expecting much better braking in the 4runner as I was used to the S4. On the other hand, I almost slammed my face into the windshield when driving the 348 right after my S4 because of the difference in pedal feel.
