My rears r basically shot but my front are almost brand new, i have greenstuff on all 4's and my brakes just dont seem to have as much power to them anymore

I no my brake fluid is getting dirty, and rear pads are like 90% Warn, but they dont do much of the stopping haha.

curious what the factory stopping distance is Preferably in KM's!!! or do me one better and test ur own damn car !!!!!

ty for any help

You will notice a BIG difference when you put new pads in the front, doing brake fluid will make a difference too, I need to do my front pads soon...they still its just the pedal feel is spongy and not as good when there is a full pad there.
