Default Help with my brakes!

I just recently took my TT to an Audi Dealership where they cleaned my Air Filter, Fuel Induction, and the Pollen Filter. They also installed new front upper strut mounts. I was given a 06' A4 2.0T as a loaner for 3 days. I thought the brakes on my TT were fine because before they did not need much pressure to brake, and i felt the same way about the A4 loaner, but now it feels as if i need to stomp on the brake pedal to stop...I can't figure out what happened! Can some one clue me in please?

Thanks

you sure you just didnt get used to the A4 brakes? If you feel you need a upgrade, just swap in some new pads and SS brake lines.

stainless steel lines dont flex under pressure like rubber stock lines do. So you basically get a firmer peddel
