My front brakes locked up on me tonight under normal non-aggresive driving. I proceeded to move it to a safe place to figure out what to do and when I threw it in reverse and went to back into a place to keep it. It was a fine and the car was like normal again. I drove it home (15min drive) and nothing was out of the ordinary during the drive. Rear seemed to be normal during all of this. Front where not all the way locked because I still had stopping power but the calipers were definatly pushing hard (god awuful noise). I am pretty clueless. Fluids all are okay. Havent modded the brakes at all. Its a 97 GSR.

Any ideas would be great.

 

maybe that awful noise was the brake wear indicator? i dunno, just a thought.

 

Nope they made the noise whenever I moved till I put it in reverse and they unlocked. The front calipers where just putting a ton of pressure on even when the brakes were not being applied.

 

hmmm....might want to take the brakes off and inspect the piston possibly. i dunno, i dont kno much about brakes

 

Has to be related to the brake system somehow since both front locked up. It has me really puzzled since the front wheels are controlled individually by the abs system (back arent) so I would have thought only one would have locked up. Maybe its the modulator but I have no clue what about it.
