[s-cars] 2002 S6 Brakes.

[Linus Toy]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to go out on a limb here...

Does anyone wonder why we get such sh** for braking systems in this
country?  It is complaints like these, and "pedal pulsing" and other such
that lead manufacturers to install either marginally effective brake
systems, or pads with limited life, or limited heat capacity, or excessive
dustiness, or any of a number of other complaints we commonly see...

You buy a car with high performance capabilities, you should expect a car
with performance-oriented brakes, not some mushy system intended for your
luxo-barge.
