R56 Front Brake Pad Problem

Front Brake Pad Problem
I tried to post this in the "Wheel Tire and Brake" section, but was blocked (???).
[FONT=Arial]I have a 2010 Justa hatchback, 6-speed manual (non-S, normally aspirated). The pedal pressure is fine when cold, but after driving a little, the amount of pressure required to make normal stops becomes much higher than almost any street car I have driven. I was going to order Porterfield R4-Ss for the front of this car to improve the "bite" and reduce the pedal pressure. Would you agree? It has 9000 miles on the car/brakes. [/FONT]

Try checking the power assist line for your brakes. It's the hose that runs up over your intake pipe towards the fire wall. I put an DDM Ram Air Scoop in my car and had to replace that hose with a standard rubber hose instead of the molded one, and it ended up getting pinched and made my brake do the same thing you're describing.
