Lack of brakes….

[Snek]

I understand that the need to stop my car from time to time may be in order.
I always figure that’s what down shifting is all about, but that’s just me.

Anyway the brakes work……. sort of.
They will stop the car, but for the life of me I can’t lock them up.
I was at a local Cars and Coffee and a fellow there who used to build CC cobras said that I should absolutely be able to lock them up.

He looked at the the brake masters and the little bar that goes between them (you can tell I’m new to this setup) and said something to the effect “that’s not right”.

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m just using the back set of brakes to stop.

Anyway I have Wilwood up front and a Jag rear end.

So I thought, before I kill myself and worst yet smash the car are there any articles I can read on these things and how to set them up?

I plan on bleeding the system, getting new pads, and turning the rotors.
That will get all the easy stuff out of the way.

By the way how do I bleed the Jag rear? It’s tucked way up there and I don’t have access to a lift.

Best,

Dave
