Cleaning the calipers and related components is going to be, IMO, the most
cost effective way to improve brake feel, followed by a well- performed
bleeding, and then, if necessary, pad replacement. I'm no expert, but I've
witnessed the improvement a thorough cleaning can make on a first hand
basis, as done by fellow lister Ken Mitchell.
