I'm having a problem with my 92 Cutlass Supreme. The brakes will not stop the car at a reasonable distance. I've had all the pads and rotors and brake fluid replaced. The vacuum booster works well. What should I do next. Does any one else have this problem?

I am going through something similiar.


Had this problem once on my old Caddy Eldorado. The rear E-brake setup in the Rear calipers seized from not using the e-brake.


That stops the caliper from working properly. On mine now it also keeps setting off the ABS codes for the Pump motor. But for that codes it measures pressures. Which if the calipers are seized that will offset the pressures.


If I get mine replaced before you do yours I will let you know if that fixed it.


Have to replace front wheel bearing first.

you should look into some over sized rotors and maybe even get some that are drilled or slotted that will help dissipate the heat your brakes produce and ultimately you will be able to stop quicker

If you have to replace the calipers look into this.
