mushy pads? thats a new one mate sorry.

Just telling it like its been told me i was taught that brake fade is a term given to anything that reduces brake stopping power.

MB give the main 3 -

Fluid boiling and releasing compressible gas into the system that gives a mushy pedal.
Pad's glazing after a session of hard driving.
And the loss of performance as they overheat during hard driving.

Just how I've been taught but as always open to corrections.
