Hey guys
I have noticed recently while having my car loaded up and pushing it a bit harder and asking more of my brakes that they don't feel as strong as I would like and I have to put a lot of force onto them to slow the car down. I have recently replaced the front disks and pads and it hasn't had a huge impact. They are still good and work fine but I would like them to feel a bit stronger under foot. I was looking into replacing the hoses with braided lines but was wondering if you guys had any other ideas. -------------------- 1997 White ST202

My first question is whether the brake-lines were bled fully, and if you put in new brake fluid? This came to mind as I read your line "want it stronger under the foot".
When I replaced my front/rear rotors, I took extra care in ensuring that all lines were bled. It may have took me a little longer than what it should, but I wanted to ensure that my braking power wasn't compromised from my first attempt. |
