Hi,
Get it checked if bleading is done properly.Also effectiveness of brake should never be too sharp so as to avoid skidding.

Yes, that is a good answer given by Shiv Kumar.
No doubt Zen brakes are not that very good but it is okay
for its funcioning but not sharp. Sharp will get a bit of skidding but it is doing its work.You have to press harder and see.I also have a similar car done 67000 Kms in the last nine years and I am very happy with it but for Engine Noise which Maruti Engineers could not do anything. It is so bad that it is like a Sewing machine in our Building when it comes at night.

if the brakes have detoriarated in performance as u say u may try spraying the drum with a spray for brakes by pidilite .... its basically a de-greasing spray...

Please check the drum and disc if there is any rust or
any corretion. Apply some penetrating oil or use to slightly
apply 0-water paper.

Why don't you get disc brakes installed ? Ask your service center people.
