I have a '96 Formula, and I was just wondering if all cars of this era have inherently weak brakes. My dad and I were out one evening running kind of hard, which I hardly ever do. I had just done a burnout, and got up to about 90mph, when I started to brake for a corner. I was hard on the brake pedal, but the car just kind of slowly stopped, not even close to locking them up, or engaging the ABS. After that of course we could really smell the brakes.
I have just replaced all the pads about 4000 miles ago.
During normal driving the brakes are adequate, it's just when I'm having a little fun that they can fade. Unfortunately, I'm not about to go out and upgrade my brakes with some aftermarket for $1000's, but I was just curious what others had to say about this. Maybe I have something wrong with my brakes, but it just seems like fading to me.
