AU XR6 Series 1 - ABS - Brake issues.

Hi all, I have an 99 AU XR6.

Ever since I have had the car I have never been happy with the break feel. I have over time had different pads, a new booster, and last time round had all 4 rotors machined and new Bendix pads installed, to no major difference.

The issue is that you really have to push hard to get the thing to pull up in normal driving. It does not make a difference hot or cold. It seems the very first brake in the morning works supper well, then for the rest of the day it's a feeling like for the amount of pushing you are doing on the pedal the pads are not squeezing hard enough on the rotors. The on set issue is that while you trying to come to a stop the ABS starts pulsing at the pedal if you pushing hard. What I have also noticed is that if you are braking while going over bumps (even lightly just touching the pedal or small ripples in the road) the ABS starts pulsing the pedal. This is also the case if you are reversing down a drive way and go over a bump the pedal will pulse. Even if you turn the steering wheel and hit the stops while breaking the ABS will pulse the pedal.

IS this a common fault with this model or is there anyone that has had this issue and had it fixed?

Thanks for any help.
