Default Do your stock brakes do this???

Every time I have to nail my brakes really hard..including up to the point where the ABS kicks in the pedal gets rock hard the next time I have to brake. The pedal is pretty firm to begin with but it's gets extemely firm after I have to nail them. The brakes still work perfectly..they're just extremely firm for quite awhile afterwards. I wish they'd stay that firm all the time!!!

I was curious if this was just my car or if anyone elses also do the same.

Ditto my 95 & 98! I rarely activate ABS in the course of normal driving. However, I deliberately do so occasionally in the rain in order to "excercise" the system. The pedal always returns to normal (Not extra firm) following activation of the ABS. I agree. I'd get it checked ASAP.

What you describe has happened to me on the track. Always right after the ABS kicks in. It returns to normal very quickly though - usually by the next corner.
