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

ABS isn't always the best either... there are times like in extreme snow or ice or bad mud that you might actually NOT want the ABS to be active and you want to have the control over your brakes yourself (i.e. pumping). You probably don't get much of that in San Antonio though, huh And no, there isn't always time to pump, but in cases where there isn't time to pump the brakes your brakes wouldn't lock up anyway.

4 wheel disk brakes will be better brakes, but will still lock up w/out ABS if I'm not mistaken.
