help, my brakes suck!!!????
I have had this problem ever since i owned the car, but after the 18 inch wheels and my methods of driving, there is little to no brake feel left. What happens is that i press the pedal and it travels half the way down before it even starts to grab. The brake fade isnt too noticeable, but it worries me that i have to push so far to get any braking. Do i need to bleed my brakes? New brake pads? or a new master cylinder? THe brakes dont squeal so i am assuming the pads are fine. help!!???

I suggest bringing your car to a brake place and have them look at your car.
You could need
1) new pads
2) new rotors
3) new fluid
4) new calipers (unlikely)
The 18's aren't helping you at all btw - but i'm sure after the brakes are overhauled they will work a lot better.
