glazed is when you stop hard enough you heat the brakes up to where they get roasty toasty and get cooked--literally.

I dunno, but i dont think that raising brake fluid above it's boiling point inside a closed system will actually cause air to enter the system. Unless you were just joking around. its not like its carbonated and releases gas when you shake it up. . .

I would bet on the high speed glaze. I smoked the brakes in my truck once doing the same thing. i was going like 60 and stomped the brakes to avoid hitting a deer and after that i really couldnt brake right. and it stunk like a ****. it smelled almost like a burnt clutch. i thought iscrewed something up because it was mushy and unrespensive with the stopping for a few days, but i finally figured that it must have crystalized the pads and not destroyed them so i drove really slow around in a parking lot and pressed on the brakes. basically i would try to use the accelerator to keep the car from stopping while adding more and more brake. does that makes sense?> it eventually wore away the layer of glaze and everyhting was gravy once more.

^^^I'm sure any pads could... First (since this route is cheaper), try bleeding the lines for any air. You'll need a $2 bottle of Dot 3/4 brake fluid to replace the fluid released. If that doesn't do it, then just get a $20 pair of duralast pads or something until you get more $$$.

How do you even have a 600 dollar cell bill anyways? They have so many great plans out now that don't even allow you to get that deep in debt.

not sure about ceramic or all that jazz. . .these were cheapo walmart pads and it looks pretty much normal, it just looked really really slick. like more so than it rightfully should.

just try what SLVROZ said. thats the best route. it covers all the bases and costs the least amount of cash.

Lancers are great cars if you don't dick around with them. I think they're seventh for reliability as rated by consumer reports.
