stock brake problem
i have a 2002 civic lx with stock brakes and every time someone does something stupid and i have to slam on the brakes, my tires lock up.. doesnt matter the weather... im wondering if there is a way to fix that?

You dont have anti-locks.... so you're gonna have to modulate them yourself. Your right foot is the fix.

he means you can have to start to control your braking with your right foot by pumping it instead of slamming down since you dont have anti-lock brakes like on an EX.

Threshold braking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Threshold braking or limit braking is a driving technique wherein the driver adjusts control of the brake system in an attempt to maximize the braking force of the vehicle. Done properly, this reduces the time and travel distance required to stop the vehicle to optimal amounts, or when racing, allows the driver to delay braking when entering a corner. The optimal amount of braking force is developed on a wheel at the point when the wheel just begins to slip (optimal slip will be between 5-15%). Braking beyond this point, as the tire begins to slide, the friction force between the tire and driving surface transitions from the static friction range into the kinetic friction range. Threshold braking avoids sliding and tries to keep the tire's percentage slip at the optimal value, the value that produces the maximum frictional force.
