Link?

Why do you think you need it?

I upgraded my front brakes because I tow a boat regularly. I went with cryo-treated rotors and high-quality pads. I'm pretty sure I did a write up on this at my build thread.

Well I'm having to use quite a bit of brake pedal to stop but once I get it to that point it stops. I have a abs wheel sensor that needs replaced so that abs light is on could that be the reason i don't have a lot of feel in my pedal.

Under normal conditions, you should be able to stop without any issues.

Do you have to depress the pedal more than you expect or is it taking excessive pressure to stop? Do you track straight when you do brake?

For any of these, the problem can be with any number of things. The best thing to do is a thorough diagnosis before you start throwing parts at the problem.

Have you inspected the rotors and pads? Do the calipers move freely on the guide pins? Are the pistons in the calipers free to move? Are all the brake lines un damaged? Have you had any fluid loss that might have allowed air into the system? Have you had the on board error codes read? Have you checked if the power brake diaphragm or its supply hose is leaking?
