I'm not sure how your pedal is going to feel. I'd say mine sounds more like yours does now...and I am perfectly happy with it. I want a more progressive feel. My friend's car had that immediate feel that you mention up until last month when he did a full brake and fluid replacement. His is now like ours...and he likes it better...as before he felt like it was "too much too soon".

The question I have is whether the caliper replacement fixed your initial problem or not. I know some time and miles have to happen but I'm really hoping that the problem is now behind you.

Thanks for following up Andy. I am getting used to it and actualy like the progressive feel. I think I was just used to it before when the caliper was sticking. Braking feels very good now. No more shudder when braking. The caliper replacement def. fixed the issue!

Thanks to all for the assistance!
