Hi guys,
I am having some issues with my brakes, i am getting pedal feedback just before the car comes to a complete stop but it depends on how hard i push the brake pedal. I had the drive shafts changed could it be the abs ring on the shafts?

there might be a problem with your abs unit. Mine had a simular problem. When i braked hard, there used a be a slight jerk so i had the unit replaced and now my car brakes fine. But don't take my word for it. Just a suggestion =D

Does the pedal feel spongey? Have you tried bleeding your brake fluid? Topping it up? Have you checked elsewhere like brake lines for any signs of leakage? Proportional valve may be faulty? Try to inspect/fixed whatever I said or maybe more depends who will reply, but when I was in the same position as you, I bled the brake fluids and it fixed the problem.
These are minor problems,
You may also have bigger problems if the above isn't your solution; such as master brake cylinder? Brake booster?
Give it a go and update us :)
Have you also checked you brake pads/shoes?
Good luck!

Ye I did bleed the brakes when changed the rear brakes from drums to disc. Pedal did feel soft but got harder after more driving.. the bottom bracket was loose i tightened it up and still doing the same thing. The master cylinder and brake booster are the same as the ek's that have discs.. the prop valve is the same as the ek's that have discs..

This did ever happened before?? Mauybe you should try using the correct brakes set up Front disc and Rear drums? Don't take my word for it but that could be a problem... Have you checked front brake pads? Tbh I'm just assuming you have air in the system :s

that might be a problem,

check if there is any oil or grease on the rotor. You might have a split boot

Remove the ABS sensor off the hub. Take it for a drive.
