I've heard that many times, any idea why? Brakes are mechanically very simple and brakes on one car are very similer to brakes on another. Unless there's an issue with the type of fluid used or the pads (easily fixable), it just doesn't make sense that they are really that bad. I deal with a variety of disc brake systems both at work and for recreation. They all bleed relatively the same and the biggest differences are usually pad composition and rotor size, not "brake A is way better than brake B" for some mysterious reason.

Maybe I'm wrong...
