The front brakes failed on my RS somewhere near 10k. The master cylinder
seal blew. I never got a straight answer on why, but the theory most folk
agreed on was that the discs had warped a little, rubbed on the pads, heated
up the fluid, which expanded the pads so rubbed some more and made more heat
etc ... until the fluid boiled and blew the seal. Certainly one rotor was
warped, and the shop did replace them both under warranty. I've had no
problems since.
