I don't think the brakes on my box are bad in any way, they just don't have the crisp feel of a newer cars brakes. Pedal is kinda mushy, but it's still pretty linear, except for the first inch or two, which does nothing.
Mine has new Raybestos semi-metallic pads and new rotors in the front, rears are the original drums put on the assembly line, hopefully the shoes would be a bit newer.
I've locked up the brakes a couple times, twice on wet pavement, once on dry. A panic stop is relatively terrifying, brakes locked up or not. There's so much weight transfer due to soft suspension. I'm mostly afraid of the passengers safety and cracking the header panel.
All I could really ask for is a less mushy brake pedal, better feel. Also doing the wheel bearings was a fucking mess.
