| Hey guys long time, i was trying to find some info on increasing the breaking power and pressure of an FC but i was unable to get any info. I will be grabbing some power slot sloted break rotors and street ceramic pads, but what about the pressure; how would i modify that? |

Like Rahul said, what would be the point? I'm sure you can muster enough leg power to lock up all four wheels without too much effort.
On that topic, locking up your wheels is a poor way to stop. Not only do you not have steering control, but your stopping distance is greatly increased. Read up on threshold braking. Actually, I've got a Skip Barber racing video you can borrow if you like.
The only modification that can be done with regards to pushing the pedal is brake bias. This, however, would require re-plumbing your entire braking system (not something you want to be doing on any vehicle unless you know exactly what you are doing). |

| break pads and rotors are not bad |

| Braking pressure is weak, as in the pedal sinks/is too soft? |

| i had the same problem on my car,all fc's seem to be like that the biggest improvement i got was getting hawk pads from racing beat. also If you had an abs system in your car make sure the lines are bypassed correctly or it wil mess with the brake bias |

pressure is weak and the pedal is soft but it doesnt sink. ive checked my lines and everything and its good. im getting new pads and rotors soon and going to see of that helps a bunch. And ill be sure to check the ABS make sure its bypassed properly cuz i didnt do that |
