As brakes wear out, it shouldn't take more pressure to stop the car. You just have to press the pedal down further before brakes start to kick in.

If the brakes require more pressure, then I'd say you need to flush the fluid and put new fluid. Once it gets very old and mixes with dirt/air/moisture, it will compress more than normal brake fluid should.

the monroe pads are made by a company called Certified. there ok. the best pad i've ever used thats after market have been the Wagner Thermo Quiet pads, and i do beleive Parts Source has a 60k warr on them too. But a brake job is as only good as the person doing them, If your caliper sliders are sticking,seized, or the pads don't sit flat on the rotor they'll wear improperly or wear out faster
