That maybe brake fade? Try change the pads first......

Brake fade + spongy feeling...Well since my mom never complained about it i guess its pretty adequate for her Nowadays i only drive the car once in a blue moon so really never affected me also hahaha

I cannot tahan one. Even my Hyundai I rarely drive but even since I changed Trestor Advantage for VR and found them good, I went hunting for them for Hyundai. Found them and fitted even though Hyundai pads still have 70 to 80%. Now hunting for the Chery SUV but cannot find, only have Bendix General CT.....

Is good to have the instinct on equipping decent pad considering the number of ahole's on the road. Not really motorsport level but just serves enough for daily purposes.

Yup, either OEM or search after market. So far after market got Bendix but her SUV got General CT only. The rear pads seems mid end for 4WD have but in Australia website only. I can ask my brother to get as he resides there but dollar to dollar in AUD....

As an ex user of general ct, give Trestor Advantage Blue a try if possible. It won't disappoint you on initial bite and rotor wear except powderful. You will drop your jaw for what it cost of.

I have change the rear pads on the SUV already and they are the General CT. Front hardly wear and I suspect they are very hard pads that is why thinking of trying out General CT since that is the only pads that I can find now...

The rears were very dusty and worn out first. Had those changed after 3 years to Bendix General CT already as that is the only aftermarket pads I could find. The fronts must be very hard, very little dust and until now still very thick.....hhahahhaha

Usually hard pads, indicates that the bite is good or bad? harder pads also not so friendly on the rotor right?
