Default Brakes Done (new front setup)

Went to the dealer to buy front pads and I bought this instead

So far everything is great while hard braking from 160kph it stops nicely but with the stock brakes it says "WHAT" when you press on them.

Well I think something is wrong with the master cylinder for the brakes because when I apply brakes it's soft and it goes all the way in I apply 2 times it becomes hard and it grips better.

Until now im satisfied but like I said something is wrong maybe dirt in my brake lines like always.

Yes mohammed I bought them from Liberty for 1500 DHS (407 USD) with pads and they only had 1 kind which is the 1 I had.

http://www.dba.com.au/view_product.p..._series_id=586 For the part number

For the quality its not bad everything is good and especially If u have bigger rims so air can cool the brakes.
