After one hard Stop ...are really hard stop... (thank to xravenx) .. about 30 seconds after that my brake pedal was pressed all the way down to the ground will almost no stopping power.... which leads me to belive either my rotors and pads are worse then i thought or the celic stock brakes suck for autocross....

uh oh! get that celi some breaks!

Or your out of Breaking Fluid!?!?!

no brake fluid is fine... barking went back to normal after about 2 minutes of driving .. when the disc cooled off enuff..

Or maybe when your brake fluid cooled off enough -- brake fluid boils, you lose all braking ability.

ok now that gives me and idea.. i'm going to hook up and brake fluid gauge ...

You might have a leak in your brake lines. Did you check that? In my 91 GTI I had a leaky brake line, making it look okay, but every time you slam the brakes the pedal would go to the floor.

na it just happened once ... after that one hard stop ... hasn't happnened since... but i noticed to day my rotors are extreamly thin..

i would definety get it looked at asap. sounds like an accident in the making...becarefull mac!

yea i know.. i been driving so unlike myself the last couple of weeks.. i need new rotors all around ...

the same thing happened to me the other day, i was driving like a maniac @ 170km/h and jumped on the brakes to turn on a street, to my surprise, i stuck the pedal to the floor and couldn't activate ABS (nor lock the wheels). My celi just braked slower than usual and i missed the street. Is this what happenes when brakes overheat or is something wrong with my celi? My rotors and pads are new from last june.

good thing my brakes squeeked alot before but now it's nice and quiet.

its just from getting your brakes WAAAY to hot
and glazing the pads......
