Default Brake Feel

I've had my 300 for about three months now and the breaks still surprise me on how grabby they feel. Is it just me or do they seems to grab too much? I always feel like they are just too sensitive.

Can the brake feel be adjusted in any way?

the 300 is ok already, i don't feel anything special about them. that's pretty much what the system is like on 2gs300/430. the new gs430 though it's a different story, a lot more responsive and a lot harder, very much like bbk.

i am used to that though coz' i have bbk on both my cars so i know how to brake in fact it was a problem when i got my loaners and driving those cars at the taste of luxury event -- almost crashed.... don't worry you will get used to them pretty quickly

nop, not much you can do. it's "sensitive" coz' it's very different from other cars out there, these cars have brake assist and it's partially electronically control i would say. so you just have to adjust your driving, which i honestly don't think is that hard just press lightly and you are there

you will just have to worry about driving any other cars there after
