Car acts erratic on strong brakings. Does not seem to stop on all fours evenly.

Car acts erratic on strong brakings. Does not seem to stop on all fours evenly.
Any recommendations on how to test for even pressures throughout the whole system?
I upgraded the front brakes to Ls1 types....I also have new rotors in the rear.
When I have to hit it hard or on a tight enough curve the car gets really sloppy....almost as if the calipers are not all working evenly.
What is a good test for this? I did the bleeding myself it should all be fine...but i am considering redoing I guess....but wanted to ask for other techniques. Was thinking about maybe going to a shop....but not sure if they would do more than I can do...so its a debate right now.
I can rebleed it myself if that's all they can do.

I'm not a suspension expert, but that sounds like when your braking on a curve the car is becoming unsettled. If you have no braking issues in a straight line, then I'd look for suspension issues. Maybe worn stock shocks?

Sometimes my ABS light will come on when braking and the pedal will vibrate and I have different pressures going to each brake. Its weird....car kind of walks around. The TCS light also comes on.
I'm removing my ABS system completely and disconnecting my TCS, its just a pain in the ***, especially the older cars like mine.

If you have bad or weak shocks, braking WILL be affected. What shocks do you have an how many miles on them?
As for the ABS light, you need to get the ABS system scanned, and have the shop provide you with the flowchart printout pointing out what the issues may be. Could be a wheel speed sensor, ABS motor pack, etc.
May also want to try re-bleeding and ensure all the wheel speed sensors are connected and no wire abrasions...

Sounds like air in the lines.
I'm going to rebleed mine real soon. I've got speed bleeders already.
Whats our typical order again? Farthest to closest? (passeng. rear->driver rear->passng front->driver front. ?
Or does it not matter?

There's a long procedure listed in AllData. I will see if I can get a copy of it on here tomorrow. It lists how to bleed all the ABS lines if you have that.
Also it has a two procedures, one using a pressure bleeder and one not. I wish I had a pressure bleeder.
