Default The stock brakes suck. And I mean suck. The pads will last forever or for 10K miles...
depending on how you drive, but the fade is always there whether brand new or almost done. cheers! Mike

I don't drive very hard. >8 miles to work one way. Local Irvine traffic (~50mph) stop and go.

Default It may be pads, however...
you may also be in need of a brake bleed. Have you done one yet?
