It took a bunch of hard stops from around 20 mph as well as cruising at 30 mph for a half mile or so with the brakes just engaging a little. If the front disks have plenty of metal left you might consider having them turned and a new set of pads, also use the appropriate lube on the pins. Don't be afraid to stomp on the brakes, if something is going to break now is the time, not when you are going 60 down a mountain road. I have replaced all the hard and soft lines in my 120 'cause I don't trust the single line system
