Weak brakes

Post by shane_c »

Is it just me or do the stock brakes on the Vibe seem pretty weak?

Well considering i only have a stock vibe with the drums in the back they work really good for me... i mean i almost hit my fiances vibe last week in the rain cuz she was gonna run a yellow goin red so i was gonna gun it too then she stopped. i was like a foot or so away after tires stopped screeching!!!So imo they serve its purpose

i thought they were kinda weak too...so when i had to replace mine i decided to try a set of drilled rotors...i can really tell the difference in the rain now. dry stopping hasn't improved too much (maybe not at all and i'm just imagining things?)i think hard braking has improved all around though...http://kvrperformance.com/stor...4_943those are them!
I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!
