I have a 97 Tahoe, I have gone thru 4 sets of front pads and a set of rotors, rear drums are still good shape. The last change I did was over memorial weekend..... put on PowerSlot drilled rotors and Hawk HPS Pads ....... The Tahoe only has 50k on it, most stop and go driving. After I followed the break in procedure outlined for the pads and rotor, 100 miles no hard breaking or quick stops, my pedal is still soft and the brakes suck when hot. This is a stock SUV no frills and nothing added to get more HP.
The original rotors and HD Bendix Pads were better then this set up.......I did not have as bad a fade as now. How can I get a stiffer pedal when I change the rotors and pads back? The pedal was soft before the change and I hoped that the change would give me a stiffer pedal.
Thanks Steve
