Many shops will perform free brake inspections, find a local one that does and have them test drive it.

One of the shop they told me the fluid pressure not enough , they ask me to change the whole brake unit ......
I saw one of the post on forums , they said maybe the wire issues , is that true ?

What pads did you have before, and what pads do you have now? It's possible that your new pads are just a lot less grabby than the old ones were.

There's your answer. But you can change out the whole brake unit (?) if you like!

Your statement is 100% incorrect. The low dust pads certainly will affect how hard you have to push the pedal to make the car stop. That's the whole point of the high friction pads, they bite very hard with very little force on the pedal.

The Akebono ceramic pads perform like the high-friction OEMs, but have MUCH less brake dust. MANY members use them and love them...I do!
