EP3 Brakes Problem, How much Stainless Brake Cable Helps?

Like topic saids... my EP is slow to react with the brakes, it doesn't feel like stopping at all at higher speed and in quicker situation.

Do stainless steel brake cables really help? Ive heards stories on shorter brake travels with earlier/faster reactions. Is it True?

I really feel unsafe with the brakes... Can't image if i need to stop for a kid suddenly

How fast are you stopping from exactly? I have never heard of this problem from another EP owner before, maybe you should get those brakes inspected, the master cylinder may even be gone. If you are having trouble with brake fade etc I would try a dfferent set of rotors and pads.

i'm not driving fast at at all actually and this is not my first K20 and Bs. Never like that before, the brakes just feels weak.

My salesman told me the brakes, F+R were just serviced, no chance of not-breaking-in yet, and the miles are too low for new pads...

maybe i should change oil with whole car checked...
