Brakes wont stop me!
I ahve notcied everytime i get off the highway or get going over about 60 and hit the brakes nothing happens for a few seconds then they ebgage, anybody know what is causing this? I put new pads on less than 2000 miles ago and it has been great untill now. Would new braided lines fix the problem, any help please, my cars down over this.

Is your car turbo? If yes, the problem is your check valve. It's letting boost into the booster which then doesn't exactly help you brake, untill the vacuum takes over and you get the ormal assistance.
If the car isn't turbo, I'm stumped. Possibly a similar thing becuase there's much less vacuum under load which would still take a second or two to take effect after lifting off the gas.

did you re-surface the rotors when you did the brake pads, and then did you properlly bed the pads by driving softly and easy for the first 100 miles??
If not you probably glazed the pads. Throw them away and get a new set, and re-surface the rotors.

Okay, ill just go ahead and change out the pads, but just for reference, nobody thinks the lines will help the problem? Also, please let me know what u guys think, should i go with ebc pads or hawks??? And, no, i did not resurface the rotors, but i am looking into new ones since they are pretty old, figured i would put slotted n drilled on, any advice or suggestions???
