Help me with my eg civic brakes!!!!!!
I just picked up a 1994 civic eg and it’s a death trap. When you hit the brakes the sink to the floor barely braking until they lock up and pull the car to the left. Any ideas of what this could be before I start pulling it apart?

air in the system.
low fluid levels
pads are in end of life.
(the usual for any brake system in any car)

If not any of those options probably a leaking line. You intentionally bought a car with bad brakes? You didn't test drive it?
