Re: brakes wont hold

not like it would affect that, but is your transmission Automatic, or manual?

Re: brakes wont hold

my odd question with that is becouse I always had Manuel transmissions on my f bodys in High school, and now own an automatic. It kind of weirds me out how steping on the brake lowers the transmission in an automatic, or letting the car know to slow down. When with a manual I can tell the car what to do with the stick shift.

Ohh and how your brake pads looking.
And what your saying is if you try and do a break stand? car still pulls ahead? Be cool if its just that our cars have to much power, or could use some new brake pads. If I didn't want to hurt my finicy as all h car right now, I would see if my car could hold itself. Becouse my brakes stop they just stop slowly. I remeber my car not holding when I tryed that once.
