Braking Problems, Air in system ?? Options

[Remy]

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.

So your having brake grabbing at 3/4? Is it one brake, is it the whole front set, rear, all of it? You getting any vibration...etc.
Here is some stuff brought to you by google...
"GRABBING BRAKES: Often signs of a leaking brake caliper, master cylinder or wheel cylinder."

As far as the pedal play till this happens, I dunno. Usually grabbing brakes is "at the slightest tough" kind of things. But who knows. I would strip it down and do a vis inspec on all your components first before bleeding. You may have allowed some form of contamination into your system when you changed your fluid, pads, rotors, and new SS lines.
