Are you concerned about feel once upto temperature or are you concerned about fade ? If fade is the issue, have you opened the brake ducts by removing blanking plates in the front wheel wells to allow air flow in to cool the front brakes ?? BP
Thanks again BP, I will try and do the DOT5 fluid change. About the pads, well, I don't feel a good sense of bite you know. I've drove my friend's Audi S3 2015 and its brakes are awesome, the bite is unbelievable. My brakes don't have good bite at all (cold or hot, never).

I actually removed those blank plates on Friday, I understand that this will help braking when driving hard, right? Or will it also help on normal driving situations ?

I appreciate as always your comments
