Are they smushy when you are bleeding the brakes or now that you are done bleeding the brakes and test driving it?

Of course you will feel better braking power from a Da MC and BB, but it shouldn't feel mushy right now though.

But yes, if you don't have the Da MC/BB then you are not using your DA brakes to their full potential.
