Default front brake problem 69 camaro ss with disc

built this car in 2003 and have only put approx. 10,000 miles on it. Rear drums started scrubing and found out that front pads look almost new. am getting fluid out to calipers but doesn't seem to be enough. any advice on what to check?

I'd need a bit of details on your system, before I could even guess. Is it all stock style, or have you changed any components? Any pictures of the master and plumbing would also help. Could be as simple as the master cylinder plumber backwards, or proportioning valve not plumbed correctly.

Best answer go to a parking lot and get up to about 25 and mash the brakes the front should lock and the rears also.. My best answer if your having issues is bite the bullet and take it to a professional shop that knows how these brakes work. Have them test and adjust whatever needs to be adjusted replaced or repaired. Brakes are not something you F'ck with and learn as you go, your life depends on it...
