hi!<P> just curious; it seems the vacuum boost comes on strong a second or 2 after depressing the brake pedal; i'm used to getting linear braking response that doesn't change unless i change the pedal pressure. when i pointed it out to the Service guys, they drove mine, confirmed it, then drove 3 other S40s and said they all did that,...<BR> has anyone else noticed this and found a way to cure it? i have to keep it in mind whenever i'm driving (this isn't my only vehicle), and it's annoying enough to make me want to get out of the car sometimes,... <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/frown.gif"><BR> i just don't like having it 'decide' to brake *harder* unless i push on the pedal harder!<P> at the very least, i'm already expecting that i'm going to have to be upgrading the brakes; in spite of how well the brakes on this car were reviewed, i'm rather underwhelmed by how quickly i can get brake fade in spirited mountain driving...<P> any suggestions?<P><BR>cheers!<BR>e<P>
