Brake question fo ya.......

as i drive i notice that i have to push my brake down far to get it to ... feel like its stoping... if i pump it , it feels normal
keith drove it and can prob go in to further detail
but what problem or what is broke/not working right?

also are there any good oem rotors that work good? GSR SI etc
or would i be better with an aftermarket rotor? if so which
ive heard/seen alot of problems with power slot
any ideas?
thanks

you dont need new rotors... has nothing to do with your rotors... i was thinking maybe a GSR proportioning(SP) valve... that would move more fluid and therefore would make the travel of the pedal less for full breaking...

either low brake fluid or ur master cylinder is goin out is my guess
my dads truck does the same shit, sometimes unless i pump the pedal it just goes right to the floor.

Did you do a 4wdb conversion? If so, Keith is right, to get the feel back from your rotors you need some GSR parts.

what do you have in your rear? drum brakes? mine was a leaking very small leak almost couldn't even see it. Which was causing pressure lost. If you have drums maybe check those out. Iam not sure but would a PPV really make that much of a differnce in pedal travel unless its bad?
