Re: help!!!

First off, how long ago have the brake lines or any other parts been replaced? What is the car doing? Pulling to any side? Rear rotors rutsed up?

Re: help!!!

all the parts i listed been replace less then a month ago..

the car doesn't pull to any side and the rear rotor are not rusted up..

pretty much when im going lets say 60mph and there a stop sigh up ahead,so i start to slow down and come to a compete stop u can smell the brakes burning.(and no i dont wait until the last min to stop,i start to slow down from a distance).then after i stop for the first time i have to press the brake pedal all the way it can go and hope it can stop in time..
