So every year, we have to pass a safety inspection here in Spain, and one of the tests is a braking test on each axle individually.
The car gets put on some mechanical rollers, and you have to slowly apply the brakes until, they lock up and they take a measurement.
My fronts lock up no problem. The rears however don't. I stomp on the brakes as hard as i can, but it's not enough to lock up the rears. Is this normal? It's enough to pass the braking test, but it definitely doesn't feel like it's doing much braking. Doesn't feel right.
I'm running OEM ford pads with Steeda 2 piece rotors, and goodridge braided hoses.
Tires are Continental Sport Contact 7 in 305/30 R20 all round.
I've bled the whole system multiple times, and there is definitely no air in the system.
Is it really that the rear pads are that weak that they aren't able to lock up the rears?
I feel like that's wasted braking performance if the rear isn't able to lock the rear tyres. I know you ideally don't want to lock up the rear, but it honestly feels week.
Any thoughts or opinions on this? Anyone know who makes pads with a more aggressive friction coefficient that are still streetable?
