G55 brake too soft
Just noticed today, that brakes aren't that fast to take effect if you slam it! Felt it even dangerous and won't save a person or a car 2m in front of mine, even if at low speeds easing out of parking, or moving on a green light! Too soft and cushiony, not hard with immediate effect! Does that sound normal to you guys?

Tell "Mike", he needs to have his brakes bled too.
My 2003 has the old style calipers with smaller rotors and it was night and day difference after I bled them and replaced my pads and rotors with new stock ones.
My brother's 2009 G55 stops even better. Your 2010's brakes should be more powerful than you are describing. That is not normal.
