no my brakes are fine. just under hard quick braking, the back end comes loose........ brakes arent locking up either.

Definetly not good for say a 1/4 mile run.
i nice set of tires will help with that... eagle f1 or someother good performance tire?
unless you have performance tires

my rear only slides when I want it to... you gotta kinda roll on the brakes, soft to catch the front than get harder or else you will lock up and cause that effect.
