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.

what about you don't press 3/4 ? go a little easier on them.

I think you're just not use to your new brakes, you don't have ABS, so if you lock the brakes you'll skid, you have to leanr how to drive with your new brake set-up, that's all.



BTW, how much did you spend on the whole brake upgrade ? I'm curious
