How long should it take to bed in and get a good feel and bite from them??
I've done about 150 miles and they are still very spongy and braking distance is pants :shrug:

not sure mate but tbh i've never heard good things about omp pads. i've just changed my discs and pads (ebc discs and yellowstuff pads) and they have already started to improve after 50 miles.

yellow stuff - ewwww..
scored disks?

Did the new disks have their protective coating removed prior to fitment?
just a thought.

No coating to begin with I think .
Disc is brand new .
Maybe pads and discs haven't settled into a groove yet??
Dot 5.1 was done too and braided hoses at front .
and as I said - around 150 miles done with nice braking force applied , nothing fancy.
