Re: braking problem That is strange, the motor runs fine?
Is the vacuum line to the booster ok?
Have you checked the check valve at the booster & it's grommet into the booster?
Is this condition always there, or does it apear while driving? Do they feel like they drag at all?
The brakes are not modified/aftermarket parts?
Lots of varables here but not a common complaint on these cars, did this suddenly show up, or after some kind of service?

Re: braking problem
motor runs fine brckes are not modified the dont dragit suddenly showed up after a burn out contest
Holding the brake while doing a burn out has cooked, boiled and deep fried your brake fluid.
You probably have all kinds of air in the system. You need to do a full system flush.
In the future, be more clear about what lead up to the problem. You should also re-read your posts for clarity.

Mitch, did you use huked on foniks?
Anyway...on to the answer....
I may suspect that the caliper seals are cooked and the calipers may need a complete rebuild. You may have air in the system...better yet, I'm sure you do have air in the system. Check the caliper seals and bleed the brakes.
Good luck!

Re: braking problem Bluls1z28,
Not trying to give you a hard time. But your original post was a little cryptic with the spelling and missing letters and such. Most of us (Mitch and I and about 12,000 others) are here because we try to help out. I am guilty of typos like everyone else, it happens. But and extra 30 seconds proofreading a post may make it much easier to get you the answers you need to correct your problems, or at least some suggestions on where to start. There are no "grammer police" (grammar *****?) around here. But a little punctuation goes a long way towards helping those that read the post understand what you are asking.
Anyway...enough about that.
This started after a burnout contest? How long was the burnout? Did you use the brakes at all? Did anything happen during the contest (wheel hop, etc)? Did you blow either tire during the event? (tire parts may have taken out a sensor, kinked a line, or caused other physical damage). There has got to be an explanation for it, and probably a simple one (once you find it, you'll say "I should have seen that sooner" or something similar). Have you pulled the wheels to look at the brakes, brake lines, calipers, etc? (are there any chunks of rubber that got melted into the caliper area?). If you didn't overheat the brakes, cook the fluid and get air in them, then it has to be a physical problem with something in the system. Bleeding them is a good start, just in case. Let us know what you find under there....
Good luck!

Re: braking problem So, you tell me ...
How much more difficult is it to write and READ this ...
as opposed to this?
I'm not advocating grammar school. I could care less about typos and proper grammar. However, if you want help, you need to be a little helpful in getting your point across.
Face to face, I can read minds well enough. But things get a little hazey when transmitted across phone lines ...
Good luck in finding the solution to your problem
