Feels a bit soft mushy when it starts to feel like its fading. Im using valvoline synthetic brake fluid. I didn't delete the dampner box, where is it located? But it locks up fine at lower speeds, just that the higher the speed and braking hard, i feel fade.

Try different fluid too. On a buget I like the castrol GT LMA fluid. We used it on our formula atlantic cars for YEARS without problems. There is no dampener in the brake system, just in the clutch system. The guy who gave you that info in this tread was smoking some shit!

okay ill give that fluid a try and new brake pads when these wear off. I was about to say that there is no dampener box because the only one i remember taking off is my clutch dampener haha!
