560SL brakes
I drove a 560SL a few days ago, the brakes had a problem. They took a significant amount of force to stop the car, but were not spongy, and the pedal barly moved at all. I suspect the power booster is not working correctly. Does this sound right? If so, what would need to be done to fix?

I know its not right, and was wondering what could be the problem. Is this what would happen if the booster is not working? What would cause the booster to not work? If the booster is not working, would there be much travel in the pedal, or very little? Can the car be driven with the booster not working, with the expectation of significantly more foot pressure needed to stop?

Bad pads?
I drove a fellow board member's 500E once, and similarly the car barely stopped (though the travel was considerable if you pushed Very hard). I mean, pushing nearly all the way to the floor I couldn't even induce ABS. However, after a number of 100 MPH "panic stops", their bite improved dramatically. Glazing perhaps? (I know this sounds bizaar, but I was shocked too)
