Hard braking in a manual

[GoodTimes]

I'm talking about my VZ breaks they are great. But my hand break cable is stretched so doesn't work haha.

my ve has a smooth pedal even under hard braking, is the shudder really fast or would you estimate it to be about the same speed as the wheels rotating? warped rotors maybe? just saying it may not be your abs

Speeds of saying 100km on a freeway and having to suddenly break. So for me as fast as possible breaking.

You're not feeling brake shudder are you?

Not idea what this is.

The main differance between Brake shudder and the ABS kicking in is pretty huge.
If your doing 80 and stand on the brakes, the pedal will pulse quite hard, moving about a cm in and out and the car would come to a stop.
Brake shudder is more like a soft pulsing of the pedal while using the brakes. It could be a warped disc moving the pads back and forth in the calipers forcing fluid back to the pedal, hence the pedal pulsing.
One of the reasons why cars, well, actually drivers with ABS have accidents is becasue as soon as they feel the pedal starting to pulse, they back off the brakes - when they should stay standing on it.
Just FYI, I tested my old car, an '01 Vectra, in the rain doing 80 on an unused road, the car stopped within around 10 metres.
Have yet to test the VE....

I hope this helps.

That Vectra must have had the worlds best brakes!

I'm sure there are disbelievers here, so in the morning I'll measure the distance. If it's not 10m, it's pretty darned close!

Lol what??? 10 meters? Are you blind?

Formula 1 cars go from 100kp/h to stopped in 15 meters, and I highly doubt your Vectra has Carbon Ceramic brakes.
