Do your brakes on your st suck?, Almost slammed into my GTZ Options

[zero07]

I was following behind my wife yesterday when we came over a hill, and there was a huge line of cars stopped at a light. Of course i saw her hit her brakes hard and so did i, fortunately ABS and four wheel disc brakes on my Galant GTZ stopped her and my little girl from slamming into the car in front of them. Unfortunately i locked up and started sliding right for the back of them, i steered hard to the left so that i wouldnt hit them, instead was gonna hit the curb dead on. Right as i was about to hit it, tires screeching, smoke and all i cut it back to the right a little and hit hard, luckily just curbed the rim pretty good and left with a small vibration. Time to upgrade my brakes

yeah, you're suppose to pump on the brakes when you feel them about to lock up. but i've been in a similar situation and that would've made things worse. i had to pull my e-brake and downshift to 2nd so the engine brake helped out. it might not good for your tranny and what-not but its a lot better than rear ending your wife and daughter. st brakes do suck. upgrade your rotors and pads and even a rear disc brake conversion if you want. pretty simple to do.
