New member here, and I have a question about the braking performance of the 2000 LS400. I am seriously considering the purchase of this car, but the only thing that is standing in my way is the brake feel. We already own a Mercedes E500, a C6 Vette, a 2007 Civic, and a Chevrolet Avalanche. This particular LS400 has about the same braking feel as my Avalanche, that is, that it feels as if the brakes are not large, or aggressive enough for the weight of the vehicle. Stopping this LS400 in an abrupt way ends with the pedal almost on the floor, and the possibility of locking the wheels seems to be a very remote possibility.
I have searched this forum for clues as to what the issue is, and have come away somewhat confused. I have read that some folks adjusted the vacuum booster push rod, and that seemed to do the trick. I have also read that the type of performance I described above is "normal". I prefer brakes that will cause wheel lock up and the ABS to engage at virtually any reasonable speed. Should the 2000 LS400 be able to lock the wheels at say 50 or 60 miles per hour? I ask, because this one will not do it at 15 or 20 mph, irregardless of the pressure applied.
Thanks in advance for any advice or words of wisdom!
