I've read over and over here that the stock brakes are sufficient and that the stock brakes should able to lock up the four wheels.
Although my car slows down, I can not get it to lock up. Even so, even considering the age of the car I think brakes are quite poor. I've got 205 tires so it's not about lack of grip, but on the pedal the end feels quite soft. I've checked the lines, they are all good so only thing I can think of is moisture in the lines. So after a flush, what's next, a more aggressive pad? Which one would be recommended? |

Do a "vacuum suck out'' and get the old stuff out,better than doing a "pedal pump" out as you avoid moving shit around the system,the master cylinder generally suffers most and the cups can get torn up. You should get a result if every other thing is good,otherwise you may find the m/cylinder is leaking by causing a soft pedal,it kinda feels like air in the system but its not. If no luck you need to look @ a R&R of the master cylinder,good luck. |
