The coach has a disk brakes all around with very few miles on them. It sat for a while and there is rust on the rotors.

The pedal feels consistent, it does not stiffen with pumping so i don't think there is a leak or a need to bleed.

On a low speed stop they feel like they grab pretty well.

At higher speed it feels like when you tow something way over your limit without trailer brakes (don't say you never did that)


It just ignores your foot and slows down in its own time.

Where do i start ?
