I just don't like it. And even thought it's one of the best performance to cost fluid (3-4$ a bottle) I still prefer to spend 20$ on a RGS610 bottle and have a solid brake pedal, even with worn pads.
I'm aware that this could all be a placebo effect. But I'm not touching that Valvoline stuff again.

so maybe the pedal feeling mushy and the smoke coming out of the rear brakes can be 2 different things....................
since i never seen smoke coming out of the front, and i just smell burning smell, maybe thats NORMAL. But the smoke is not, so maybe thats my emergency brake sticking...................
hmmmmmmmmm

well, the shop i took it to couldnt find anything wrong with my car. They took my car out for a drive and came back and they smelled the burning smell. So they took off the rear rotors and calipers and didnt see anything wrong. Nothing was sticking (wheels spin fine). So they adjusted the parking brake like I asked them to, and bleed my brakes (just incase), and since then, I havent smelled the burning and my brakes feel great.
So I am clueless. but I dont care, as long as it doesnt smoke again
