Hi,
I recently bought a VR Series I Acclaim, and the brakes are giving me some concern. The pedal is firm, but you really have to stand on the brakes to stop the car. This is worse after driving for a while. All the pads seem to have enough meat on them, but the rotors, though smooth, seem dull, rather than shiny....
Is this a glazing problem, and would a light machine and softer pads give me safe brakes? I am not after performance enhancement, just the standard brakes, which I'm sure should be better than this. I had a VN some years back, and the brakes were great...
BTW, the ABS light comes on and goes off at the start as normal, and I have no other ABS lights coming up..
Thanks.....
