I have the same issue with my CSX4145. Girling brakes. Rock hard pedal, very little braking considering the pedal effort expended (a LOT). Had my shop try all sorts of combinations of master cylinder configurations, and we did also put in softer pads, and nothing seemed to make any difference. Finally gave up and decided to live with it, because it WILL brake acceptably well; it just requires a truly immense amount of pedal pressure, which at this point I have gotten used to. And I don’t drive the car all that much. We figured the only thing left to try is to send the calipers in for a rebuild and see if that helps. Might try that someday.
