question about brakes
 
hi i have a 1997 T/A M-6 and i have been having some issues with my Rear brakes ever since i did a brake job. what i found today is i have the car up on jackstands and i disassembled the brakes and double checked my job. i installed all the brakes correctly and i decided to bleed them, they bled fine and i fired it up and had a friend watch the wheels. at idle, I let the clutch out and at idle my car wont snub. i am stomping on the brakes as hard as i can and the car wont snub, i would think that if u need to lock up your tires to engage the abs u should be able to snub your motor if you stomp on it.

and advice or comments would be appreciated

thanks
-kevin
would re-building the calipers be a good idea?
because come to think of it i dont think ive had back brakes sence i bought the car.

SNUB???? Ya lost me :confused:

When you apply the brakes, are the rear brakes applying? Can you turn the tire with it off the ground? If you can you could have anything from a bad proportioning valve to a possibly collapsed rear brake hose.

snub as in snub the motor? i have the car on jackstands and i have the tires turning free, if i apply the brakes with the wheels turning should my back brakes be able to "snub" (kill) the motor?
