They feel too smooth and after 50 or so miles they should show some kind of skuff or circular wear pattern.I'm thinking the new shoes are not being broken in properly. I've done everything else that I could think of. One thing is for sure I will not drive this car until I get good brakes.
Thanks

You mentioned in Post #9 that your rotors do not look like mine. Why don't you just pull them off and have them turned and see if that makes a significant improvement? We know the big brake design works, so it's just a case of figuring out which component of yours is faulty -- and there's not that many pieces in the puzzle. Turning the rotors is a cheap and easy shot in the dark.
