BTW, do you have any brake cooling other than factory scoops? Are you running stock wheels? Are the wheel spokes sufficiently open for good expose of the caliper? Have you removed the sheet metal dust shields on the insides of the rotors?
David - there is work to be done on the cooling - the ancient underbody work is tattered and the shield do need to be removed - all part of the winter improvement efforts. The nature of this issue may be heat related but we have ruled out issues at the calipers - the loss of pedal is so complete and not a fade
