Lets say that the total travel of the brake peddle is 8 inches. ( Just a random number, it may be more or less) mine starts grabbing around 2 inches or so. At 3 inches this is where most of my braking is done and at 3-1/2 inches my brakes are locking up. Again these are random numbers. But all in all, im locking up my brakes at a little less than 1/2 way down to the floor. If you have to go passed the 1/2 way point to get your brakes to work, then there is an issue that need to be looked at. A leak, rear brakes that need adjustment what ever. Also you say its pulling to one side when the brakes are applied, then that caliber has issues, or the brake hoses have issues.
