Default Brake Problem......

Sometimes when im braking it feels like they are fading real bad or the abs is engaging, either way i really have to hammer the pedal to slow it down like it has no power brakes. ive got SLP line lock on the car but all the other brake components are stock other than performance friction pads on all 4 corners, and im only runnin 17" billet specialties wheels, anyhting helps thanks chris m.

Could be a number of things. Did you recently install the line lock?

Could be a bad power brake booster.

Very rarely do they go bad though.

When was the last time you changed pads?? Perhaps they are glazed over.
