My brakes suck how are yours?

[mabbonizio]

The brakes on my 82 240D auto are pretty bad.

I would say they stop OK, but with considerable pressure on the brake pedal.

Heres a list of whats been done to them:

new pads and rotors around 2 years and 20K miles ago (Cheap AutoZone crap just to get it on the road)

Fresh fluid and OEM front hoses

Checked vacuum pump operation when go through trans shifting system and all is great.

I just placed an order for some new ATE pads, new rear hoses as well as two of the "brake fluid reservoir to master cylinder seals" and am hoping this will make things better?

thoughts?

In comparison the brakes on my w116 were WAY better. That car stopped on a DIME. I would love for my 240 to stop like that.

thanks!
