Hey everyone, finally got some new wheels, tires and lugnuts on my car. Now i can really drive this thing, but I dont like the way the brakes feel. I can pretty much push the pedal to the floor and the car comes to a gradual stop. They are working ok for slow driving, but i definatly cant get the car to stop in an emergency. The rotors and pads dont look to bad other than rust and dust, so im wondering what i need to do to make the car stop correctly. What should my brake pedal feel like and how should the car stop with stock brakes? Would bleeding the brakes make any difference? Help!
Here are some pics of what she is looking like with the new rims!!    |
