Oh okay, i thought it might have been for my breaks since they suck *** in the first plce. Which raises another question. My pads are all brand new yet i still cant lockup the tires and i have ot press it to the floor to stop what could be wrong?

how long ago were the pads replaced???? are they good pads, or some cheap crap???
cheap pads can easily "glaze" over ang cause you to loose brakability

they were cheap pads yeh, but the front i think were changed in october and the back i BELIEVE have been on it since weve had it and thats been like two years but they look brand new which leads me to believe that since there like new something may not be functioning right? Idk that was my inclination.

hawk pads are real nice. but if you're rear brakes look new after two years then the rear isn't braking enough and the front is doing all the braking which is putting to much pressure on the front brakes to stop the car. check the brake lines especially the rubber lines. when they get old they can cause loss of breaking power because when you break it puts more force on the line expanding it out instead of putting that force on the brakes.
