My first step would be more friendly street pads on all four corners. Easy to do, relatively inexpensive too. Then see what you’ve got.
Once again, as others have said, without a booster, you do need to stand on the pedal for best results. But then, you should be able to lock them up. If you can’t lock em up, sumtingwong.
Ok, I’ll change the fluid, bleed them, and put new pads on. Thanks for the advice.
