Cannot lock up brakes but no abs intervention either

[Todd Black 88]

What pads are installed? Are they glazed by any chance?

They are factory pads from the dealership. Have not pulled the wheels off to check for glazing as the car is stored still.

What are the tell tale visible signs of glazing? What can I do about it? Can i scuff the rotors and change pads and rebed or?

Pull a pad and look of they afe polsihed to a mirror-like surface. By "factory pads", I guess you mean Jurid pads?

Yes Jurid sounds right.
I'll pull a pad and look. Can I just use fine sand paper on the pads and rotors to deglaze, followed by rag with brake clean or something?

I have the same problem, I just can't get them to lock up unless I'm going around 65mph and stomp on it and then it almost locks up. According to my accelerometer it takes me 330 ft to go from 65-0mph:(

If pads are indeed glazed, simply rub them on asphalt in cercle motion.

I suppose you have installed new pads on new rotors, or at least ungouged discs and that the hydraulic system was bled...

[Todd Black 88]

^^^ Yes
Rebuilt calipers, new pads,new zimmerman discs all around, goodridge ss lines, new flushed/bled ate superblue fluid.

Late getting back to this thread, but this was the issue. Pulled pads, rubbed them on the driveway a bit, and all good now.
thanks Lee

Glad it solved your problem. Glazing street pads in not uncommon. Which is why I suggest rotor slotting on daily driven cars. Slots help avoid glazing.

did you go to mission raceway by chance? Stock pads aren't really up to any track session, much less mission. If you want to go back, next time buy a second sent of rotors and some race pads. You'll probably save money because you won't destroy your street brakes after a single 30 minute session.

I'm also wondering what's under the hood for you to hit 110+mph on that straight! :o
