My car is a non-power disk brake car. While I know what comes along with non power brakes, something still doesn't fell quite right as it sits.
Along with my 8.75" axle, I went with Ford Exploder rear disks. I also replaced the front rotors, calipers, flexible lines, all with OEM style parts...I'm not expecting hypercar braking performance...but the brakes feel just kinda weak. It's extremely hard to get them to lock...and no, it's not for lack of leg strength.
With the old stock drums, the rears would lock up pretty easily...so it's hard to say if the fronts have actually lost any performance.
I've bled the system a couple times, pedal feels pretty good...any other suggestions?
I get that upgraded pads and steel brake lines would probably help but that can't be the only cause....right?
Thanks for any tips.
