Hey, I was just wondering how well the brakes work on your DSMs. I was driving my mom's '02 sentra to school today, and I noticed how great the braking was, even with abs. For the afternoon, I took my '95 Eclipse out and the brakes felt like shit.. almost dangerous. Maybe I need new brake pads or else my ABS is too strong, but I was just wondering, are DSM brakes supposed to be this bad? Any input would be great, thanks!

lol i dont think they would make brakes to be bad on a car lol that wouldn't be too smart. mine are just fine. check your brake pads, rotors, and BRAKE FLUID. do they need bled?

Haha, yeah I realise that, but I'm not the first owner of this car.. and since the winters here can be VERY harsh, I wouldn't be surprised if the ABS and/or brakes were tampered with. I will check all that in the morning, thanks :)

The ABS won't have an effect on the braking unless you get to the point of locking up the tires.
I couldn't believe the difference after installing my brakes/rotors. I will never own another car without upgrading like I have with the Spyder
