Braking Problem and Recommendations!
Braking Problem and Recommendations! I have noticed when I apply medium brake pressure at higher speeds that my pads don't seem to be grabbing well. If I could describe it I would say that my pads feel like they are literally skipping on the rotor. It seems as though I can barely lock my wheels up if I ever needed to. I have also noticed that my abs kicks in when doing this. Is this normal?! Also, I've always been a hawk pad fan, what pads and rotors will make my braking dramatically different? What are the hardest biting pads? Thank you

This doesn't sound like a problem with your pads. I'll bet that if you replace the brake hardware and lube the slider pins well, they would feel like brand new brakes.
If you have stock brakes, the sleeves in the caliper brackets will flat spot over time and also cause binding. At some point, those caliper brackets also need replacement to keep the pins sliding freely.

If ur abs is kicking in sounds like abs is limiting ur stopping power by actuvating when it shouldnt. If thats the case than id tech 2 it to see if ur sensors are reading the same all around.

To rule out the abs, deactivate it by either pulling fuse, or pulling a connector from one of ur sensors and ziptie it up. Then drive and see if it does the same thing. If not, abs related
