Cant Lock up Brakes

With both feet on the pedal ! The car has 4 wheel disk with fresh rubber, tires grip like mad and no pedal fade. Is this normal?

Thanks

Don

Just renew them,and use DOT 3 brake fluid,NO DOT4!

umm I cant lock mine either unless I am on a lose suface..Gravel/dirt/water ect... I think this is better than the brakes locking up... Consider it free anti lock brakes. Remember that if your brakes lock you go into a slide and loose control. Now if you just want to do doughnuts and small "controlled" slides yank the E-Brake cable and hold on
