Anyway, after replacing the pads, I have to push the pedal farther down to stop the car than before. I can still stop the car without any problem, the pedal is not any tighter or loser than before, the brake fluid level is correct on the reservoir. Is there any adjustment should I have to make? Or will it get better by itself?
Thanks in advance.

well you mainly brake with the front pads.
I think its like 75 percent up front and the rest is the rear.
Usually when I change my pads I change them all around that way they all wear out even.
You dont really use the rear brakes unless you mash down on the brake pad and the ABS kicks in.
