[QUOTE="Maxmush, post: 16894, member: 17122"] My E30 comes with disc all round. The previous owner had it changed. However I find the brakes not responsive enough, lacking in braking power. What could be the cause?If it is the brake pads, ok I'll get it changed. My mechanic said there was a bit too much free play in the calipers, meaning some parts may have worn off. Does that have an effect on the performance of the brake. I am going to ask the mechanic to bleed the brakes, if that would help. Other than that what could cause the brake to feel spongy. Macam tak makan got to press the pedal harder to get the car to slow down. I think the car is using stock standard brake servo. Maybe I need to change the servo to something bigger or more effective perhaps. Yes, I'll have to check if the brakes are fitted with braided hose.Any advise you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
