i got rid of the mintex extrme pads which were bollocks and fitted some halfords forodo pads, i also bled the brakes but they are back to being s**t again, at about 15 mph if u hit the brakes its like the pads and discs are made of ice! you really have 2 jump on them to do anything, at high speeds they work ok-ish but when in slow traffic im nearly bumped into the back off ppl a few times just because the car keeps going even with the brakes applied!

EDIT: I HAVE BREMBO MAX DICS BTW

have you bed them in properly as they take 250 miles of gentle driving to bed in.

Are the pistons working as they should be on the calipers? Not on there way to totally seizing?
