| When it's been raining the brakes don't function very well! i have literally stood on the brake pedal and had trouble stopping the car! the tires aren't locking up, so it's not an abs problem! i know of several others who have all had the same problems! a lot of these people have replaced the entire front braking system with either an aftermarket system or by using the front brake system off of the 1998 and newer camaro. all have been very please with the results! for what it's worth the brakes don't work that well when there isn't any rain! i know at least one person i can think of that has totaled his car in the rain cause the brakes didn't want to stop the car, and i have come very close my self! it's really scarry to push the brakes and not stop! this problem seems to be on 1993-1997 models. *ak | |||
