Hey all, I'm having some problem with my brakes heres an example: I'm driving down the road at 40mph I see yellow lights ahead so I slow down with the brake pedal about half way down but once I get to the lights with my brake pedal 3/4 way down the brakes would lock up and my car would skid about an inch. Does that mean I still have air in my brake lines or are the new brakes and rotors just working too well ?? Any input would be appreciated Thanks.
--------------- Brake Specs --------------- -Hawk HPS Pads -Brembo Rotors -ATE Blue Racing Brake Fluid -New Ebrake shoes lol -SS Brake Lines -All Greased up in the right areas And yes I broke in the pads and rotors.

 My calipers are still good I just replaced the pass rear which was having problems. I wanted to try the blue fluid which is suppose to have a higher boiling point. Over kill for this 5s but preparing for "more power" in the future.  Edit: Sorry I don't have ABS.
