Brakes & ABS

[bluespeed]

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

deffinantly make sure you have brake fluid

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
