15" Front Brakes?
I have 15" wheels and wanting to stay that way. I have drums in the rear. When I reach higher speeds and sometimes need to slow down pretty suddenly, i feel like my brakes turn to marsh mellows. Is this cause of the brake pads? It would work for the first few seconds then start to feel squishy when pressing down on the brake pedal. Just wanted some advice on what I should do for my brakes and is there anything better to upgrade to for calipers or something i could just swap out with thats still stock??

Re: 15" Front Brakes?
get hawks brake pads.
then bleed the brakes until they run clear.
if this doesnt fix the problem, start changing parts, but try the cheap stuff first.
after you bleed the brakes and put on hawks pads, you can upgrade to stainless braided lines for a more direct feel.
after that, basically, you are looking at either a new brake setup or new master cylinder ect.

Re: 15" Front Brakes?
yeah thanks! because i drove other cars and i can get that direct firm feel, like soft touch to ease in and slow down but can get a direct slow down without the mooshie feeling into it, like i do in my camaro.
