that can be true actually, as to many pots will require more pressure

Is it me or are the brakes crap, had my 30 for two weeks anyone got some advice that would improve them like changing the pads?
apart from that the cars perfect.   :sad:

They are up to it, but there always better ones around, you can source the cheaper option of the R32 set up (345mm) for around £650 thats the fronts only.If its good enough to stop the Audi S3 that will do for me.
Or just upgrade to aftermarket discs and pads.

Andrew, you're not dreaming, the standard brakes are 'adequate' at best and otherwise below average.

You're either looking at big money outlay or bad brakes.
EDITION 30.
