My brakes arent what they used to be...new that is.
Whats the best place to start in improving upon my brake components? Nothing i have is really worn although the pads and fluid could use freshening im sure.
Should i start off with new pads and fluid and go from there? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks --

Not to mention that brake fluid tends to accumulate moisture over time which will drastically affect pedal pressures.
Id just pull the rotors get them turned pick up a new set of pads some new fluid and be done with it. Theres no reason to do anything other than that just concern yourself with picking the right pad and fluid.

Is that an indication of a worn master cylinder or just in need of a bleeding? It’s a 94teg that I’ve had about 3 years now. I’ve never changed the fluid or bled the brakes. Not sure when or if the previous owner did.
