To your neutral corners everyone, no need to fight. Next time, I advise changing the pads yourself. Took me only about an hour and I had never done it before. It's possible your problem is similar to mine, you might need to bleed the brakes. That will account for the non responsive feeling when trying to stop
Keep the car.....take a deep breath....in with the good, out with the bad...Ahhh, now doesn't that feel better?
