Front brakes 93
I have a 93 vette. I'm not getting enough front brake pressure. It is not enough for the line lock or regular brakes doing panic type stops.
I have bleed the brake system several times changed pads and replace the booster. This car has never had a good pedal and I have owned this car eight years. Is there something I can do?

Chances of 2 bad flex lines at same time is nearly impossible. Car would pull or brakes would not release.
Many C4 cars have poor brakes. I ended up putting the 13" J55 brakes on mine which made a big difference (after replacing almost everything including the ABS). It was not until a few years later that my booster went bad and leaked. After the routine replacement the brakes were really great. The original booster had no defective symptoms but the new one worked much better. Don’t ask for I can't explain that but was happy with the outcome.

You are making an assumption based on no data which is you opinion. Unless you measure the brake pressure with a gauge which measures in the thousands of psi, then you really don’t know.

The front lines have never been replaced. I will give it a try and replace them.
Thanks
