I just put some headers/h-pipe on my car last week and a couple days ago I took it on the highway and was going about 120 and realized my exit was coming up and I was going waaaaaay too fast for the off-ramp. I pushed hard on my brakes but to no avail, I hit it going about 90 and i am very lucky we didn't go off the road and into the woods, thank god i down-shifted...but i slammed on the brakes as hard as I could for like 10 seconds and there was no screeching no nothing...just barely slowing down. I was in 5th at the time at a very low RPM and i've noticed that in my car when I am in a high gear/low RPM the brakes perform very very poorly. Sometimes to the effect of me pretty much not having any brakes at all. I was wondering if there was a problem with my brakes or if that is normal, I know Fox brakes suck but I hope not thaaat bad.
Also when I brake hard at highway speeds the car shutters and jerks, I think I might have to get new front pads and rotors. Thanks for any help!
