Hi, was wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions for poor braking on 1995 S2 ABY. The disk and pads were replaced with groved and dimpled discs, and Mintex pads approx. 500 miles ago as the original disks were rusty and scored. The pedal seems fine with no sponginess, however, I cannot lock the brakes, despite pressing hard on the pedal. I have also experienced brake fade after a spirited drive. I have not replaced the 6 flexible hoses with HEL braided hoses. System bled fine with no leaks. I still am unable to lock the brakes. I drove with the brakes on and all disks were shiny over the whole swept area, so I believe the calipers/pistons are all fine - they all moved easily when I replaced the pads.
I have read about the 'bomb', however, I am not sure if it applies to my car, or if it does, what I need to do to check it.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks in anticipation.
