Suburban Brakes

[anbran]

Does anyone with a 1992-1999 Suburban have a firm brake pedal and decent braking???

I'll chime in here and say that although I'm not as familiar with the Suburbans specifically,All the GMT400 trucks had "spongy" feeling brakes,I had three GMT400 trucks ('93-'94-'97) and the brakes on all of them left a lot to be desired as far as a "firm" brake pedal feel.

Yeah - I had heard that GM actually delays the onset of braking, to prevent/reduce rear wheel lock up. This enhances the sponginess. Our '94 Suburban felt very bad - new rotors, pads, bleeding, nothing helped.
