The faster you go, the better your brakes should be.

There are no exceptions. Honestly, if I see someone who puts thousands into their vehicle and does every mod imagineable but brakes...I don't think they have a clue what they're doing.

yea, ive done that so far... but after ive got the blower loan paid off... im getting cobra brakes with brembo rotors, hawk pads, and stainless steel lines.

Not sure, but they shouldn't be skidding in the first place.

Don't you have ABS?


...just realized how stupid my post was. I'll just leave it here for everyone to have a good laugh.


You have the stock brakes though?

Most of the braking is down at the front end, obviously due to weight transfer. I would check your ABS though. I assume the light isn't on or your not getting a warning?

Does the light come on when your "skidding"?

I'm no expert on brakes by any means, but I would check these basic things. I'm sure someone with more knowledge can help you out soon.
