[urq] brakes problem

[Thatcher Hubbard]

   My car does this as well, and this just after I had all four calipers 
and rotors replaced.  I know it's not the bomb, because I've swapped it 
with a known good part and this still happens.  A friend of mine who is 
a mechanic insists that that's just the way hydraulically boosted 
brakes are, but I don't believe that to be true.  If it's a simple, as 
Phil suggests, as a brake bleed, I'd be really happy.  I've been 
reading messages on the lack of availability of the brake servo and 
getting nervous.
