does this happen with the breaks often
Hello everyone, just wanted to know if this is normal. my car stops fine but I have to press the break down alot further then my 91 max(140K miles). I feel as if there is more pressure there when i press the break down on my 91max and it stops quicker then my 03. I know when I got my O3max brand new it would vibrate when I would break but the sales man said that the roters were glazed and they fixed it. I dont know if that is what caused this pressing break pedal all the way down deal and the feeling the loss of pressure in the pedal.
Thanks youall
Thanks youall

thats why i think there is a problem..its just i dont understand how this could happen to a new car..like did the sales guys take it for a few spins and smashed on the breaks.i just hope that nothing major happens in the late future.
but thaanks everyone for ur input..and yes i understand that a newer car should break better

Brand new pads are even worse until they seat. They take a lot more pedal effort because the pads are rough when new, and only a fraction of their entire surface area contacts the rotor. Once they bed-in, there's more pad making contact, therefore more friction, therefore more stopping power = less pedal effort required. same thing applies to a new cut rotor, less area for friction until they bed-in. cabish?

How many miles are on the cut rotors? It'll take a few humdred miles to re-seat the pads. That's normal.
