Probably get up to a genuine 60k on my 98 Au Futura, and try to find out why my braking power has diminished since the rotors were machined with new pads, without exaggerating it had such good brakes it always worried me in heavy traffic that in a sudden need to stop could the car behind match it, and I'm puzzled when I see complaints about the AU's braking on this forum, surely I couldn't have had the greatest AU brakes on the road, but now I would estimate a loss of efficiency near to a third since the work was carried out, I can only assume either non genuine parts were used, and a much harder type of pad, the difference is I have had to change my driving style to suit, before only a light pedal pressure to stop very rapidly, now a harder pressure and not so rapid breaking.

I was going to ask this question to see if others had similar experience, but wasn't sure where to post it, tried a search under AU brake problems but nothing came up.
