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? |

As others have said, start with the cheap stuff:
New stock rubber lines (Not SS lines unless you know how to preload them) Adjust rear pad clearance Flush the brake fluid if you can After those two things, see how the brakes feel. |
