Ok,

So been driving the XR8 for about 18months, havnt touched MY mini... driven others.
I go down the street and get to about 50? 60kms/h and hit the anchors (wasnt speeding I know that)

Whoooooaaaaaaaaa, feels like I had to push ... hard and long to get it to pull up.

Strange? Ill be a checking em soon... not sure why its feeling like that.

Could it just be me not being used to disks? Brakes were cold (so should be better not worse)

Pete

might have just been shaking off some surface rust?

and i think you need to update your little signature to something like.... "Back with a vengeance" or something along those lines...
