I think you may be right John. Some brakes need "warming" before they become efficient - especially the performance pads.

Also, is it better to brake hard (thus making sure pads are de-glazed) but probably shortening pad life or brake progressively and lengthen pad wear (and thus time they will last)?

For some who only use cars occasionally and are gentle brakers, do they work less efficiently over time as not used so "hard"?
