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? |

I suggest you change the flex lines, check the venting clearance, and check the proportioning valve on the firewall. If it is not working correctly, it can cause spongy brakes. So get it rebuilt to be sure.
Contact the Sultan of stopping, @Eric_Shea about the rebuild of the prop valve. |
