Agree there Adam. Brakes that don't take much effort feel better at first, but then you realize you can't really modulate how much actual brake force you want to apply. The trick is having brakes that you can apply extremely lightly, extremely heavily, and everywhere in between (usually with a lot of foot force on the latter side).

Ok what I am talking about it initial touch of pedal, i have to push the pedal further to get the gripping stopping power i want where i would think i can barely touch it to get some stopping power, make sense? The Car is an 01S with 82K on it. At slow speeds I am starting to hear a squeek so maybe thats the culprit?
On steering its all on stock wheels and tires but i think im overreacting on that.

Well, if you want to get it sorted, you'll need to measure the Pads and rotors to be sure they're in spec and make the necessary changes. Then, I suspect that you probably need to flush and change the fluid too.
