I raised concerns when I bought the car that it can take a lot of pedal work to stop the car at times, I was told to let the pads bed in, as they were replaced when I bought the car (Fronts only). The car is actually in Volvo dealer this week as the Tmap sensor started to fail, and got them to check the brakes and report has comes back all fine, apart from maybe needing rear pads in 3-4000 miles time, they are working as they should. So now I know they are fine, what can I do to get more feel, more bite etc from the brakes? During my performance Jspec time, we would put in some fast road pads, better fluid and braided brake lines, but if that has been done before is it best to leave alone or worth doing? I am not a late braker, I just want more feel from them and a little more responsiveness. __________________ Current - 2014 V70 Polestar D5 SE Lux 230bhp & 2011 Ford Galaxy Titanium X Previous cars - 93 Supra TT JDM 350bhp, 94 TT UK 404bhp, Nissan 200sx S14a 305bhp, 03 XC70 D5 SE, 07 Merc E-Class 280cdi estate, 11 V50 1.6 Drive SE Lux (horrid car)
