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. -------------------- "To Protect And To Serve The Wealthy" -POLICE

Well as I slow down though to come to a complete stop I would need to push the brake down more but thats where it happens when the brake locks up I noticed this problem when this lady slammed on here brakes and I was going maybe 20mph behind her and the brakes locked up instead of slowing down and then coming to a stop if any of you guys understand that lol maybe I just have to get used to this set-up thanks everyone.
I've spent maybe $400 including new pins, cups and hold down springs for the ebrakes and a rear set of calipers. I haven't seen a spec of brake dust in this past 2 weeks and no brake noises/squeals at all. Maybe when I swap to a 3s my brakes will go back to normal lol right now their too strong for this 5s. Thanks again all. -------------------- "To Protect And To Serve The Wealthy" -POLICE
