was tracking the car tonight and brakes failed..
The pedal didnt get hard, it was complete mush after just 3 hard stops. What is that?
Its been a while since i changed the fluid, but theres no way it was just from heat...i stopped the car and let it sit...same brake feel even just at idle...what is it?
Dba rotors
Hawk pads
Ss lines
Stock caliper

well, found my problem. the brake line that runs above the diff was touching the halfshaft with the speed and heat, it tore in half and wrapped around the halfshaft, then fusing the hose ends together. thats why I didnt see a leak ...akkk

This is some nasty chit, when hard lines are being cut/rubbed/etc. I would not expect this to be the case in a factory made car. The only thing I ever saw were parking brake cable rubs on various cars.
One more thing to check.
