[Roadsters] Brake Problem

[Pat Horne]

Please remind me, what year is the car?

How much lining is on the fronts?

How thick are the rotors?

If you compare the pedal pumping it with the parking brake on & off is there much difference?

Calipers are expensive to replace/rebuild so I’d try cheaper stuff first. Worn out front pads or worn down rotors can cause the fronts to not work. Pads are the cheapest but will also mask other problems if the real problem isn’t the pads  

Peace,
Pat

Some had advised me to find a gravel road and see what I could discover.
 
Honestly there really are no gravel roads around here.
 
I tried today pumping the pedal.  No difference
 
But then I got it up to 40+, took it out of gear and stomped the brake pedal with everything I had. The right rear pretty much stopped.  Did it again, and both rear wheels left some rubber.
 
Clearly, as I had suspected, I have no front brakes.  But when I bleed the fluid flows on all four corners.
 
So where is the best place to have the front rotors rebuilt???
