I'd look into improperly bled brake lines ; brake fluid gone past its prime and absorbed too much water; or spongy brake lines that expand under pressure - or any combo of these. |
That was an old car and I suppose that it may not be ideal for that kind of driving. It was exactly as ChazInMT described. Very steeped hills with speed bumps at the end when going downhill, repeatedly, in summer.
Anyway, that could count as an exception (and maybe, or most probably, some adjustments on the brakes system). For ecomodders I don't think it will be a problem. That was many years ago and I don't even have that car anymore
