I´ve always noticed my escort had poor pedal feeling to it during heavy braking. I´ve just gotten new rotors and pads on all 4 wheels, I know there is a break in period but my brakes still feel too weak for my comfort.

It feels like when I slam on the brakes that my foot is hitting the floor. Does anyone else have this problem/symptom?

Is there anything I can do? Could my brake booster be weak or something? Is there any adjustments I can do?

I´d really like to have my brakes feel strong, even lock-up BEFORE my foot hits the floor.

Any help/comments would be appreciated.

He´s right Knight...the brake lines are hella-expensive, but it will stiffin up your pedal feel to stock car feel.

Yeah I have my new DBA slotted/crossdrilled and EBC greenstuff pads, and I can feel it stop faster, but the pedal does have a lot of travel still.

wow, no way, where did you get them at. When I went looking for them it was like 199 for the front end.

Fill me in on where to get them so I can complete my brake up grade for the scort.
