Start by inspecting the rotors (outside and inside faces) for grooves, ridges, and wear, and by pulling the pads (or at least swinging the caliper partway open) for a visual examination of pad friction material thickness, taper, and general condition.

Changing fluid is a really good idea, as the fluid that's down where the actual braking effort happens is likely to be in the poorest condition. BTW, you don't want to push this dirty stuff back through the ABS, so bleed it out before you have to compress the wheel cylinder pistons.

Glazed pads and rotors??
They only last for so long.

 

Agreed

 

Need for speeding? C'mon guys you didn't get your GTs to drive 55 in the right lane, and besides, I'm not talking about how to go faster, but how to slow down safely;-)
