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

Well if you have more weight in the car, it's obviously going to not brake as well because you have more mass being propelled forward which means you need more stopping power to slow it down.
