not sure if this is much help but i had a 97 concorde, non-abs, that never stopped good. i could almost push the pedal thru the floor and the car wouldn't stop. i pulled the calipers off at 60,000+ miles and the pads looked good. anyhow i changed the pads to a raybestos semi-metallic pad, turned the rotors and it was like a different car; the car would really stop!
