The XM's spring is much, much harder than the Xantias, and doesn't impact brake feel much either way



Yep, but if you had a mk1 they have no spring in the brake pedal, from what i understand the spring was added to the mk2 along with the dash etc etc to make them less quirky and Citroen like to appeal to the masses.

I drive a nice Mark 1 XM yesterday.... It's bouncy brake pedal is terrible !! You must live in a LHD country where they don't fit the spring unit !
