Saxo brakes

[gsVTR18]

anyone else think saxo brakes are poor for how quick the car is (vtr) i know their no ferrari's but still quick and light, i recently crashed mine when wheels locked up on wet road, always been a bit squimish when trying saxo's when i was buying one, i heard before i brought it that they arn't great

so, your blaming the brakes locking up, for your crash?

that means they worked. nothing wrong with them then.

as it doesnt have abs, you rely need to pump the pedal.

Lol locking up is down to driver error not the brakes, they would be at fault if you just didnt slow down

if you locked up then they were able to brake harder than the conditions would allow.
You either need to learn how to cadence brake or buy a car with ABS. This will do the thinking for you so you can just mash the pedal, but do understand it actually can increase braking distance.

Also fitting better tyres may have helped!

When were your brakes last done?

Yerh they're shit to be fair. I drive a car wth better brakes and as soon as I get ti the first t-junction I accidently stop 20yds short. Jump back in the sax after driving said car and I nearly overshoot said junction by 20 yards :P


Oooohhh, You're talking about something completely different ;)
