i was just driving yesterday and was doing some hard braking, after a while i go to stop for a break, i had my foot to the floor and although braking was still good, usually at that point i would be locked up, i just got some new tyres recently and my brake pads are all good for some context but im not sure what it is can anyone help?
this is on a 95 corolla hatch, which has suprisingly really good brakes stock

Brake fade due to heat. I assume you are not having anymore problems or are you still having them?
Kinda confused you were doing hard braking and then u noticed it, or u want your car to lock up? Kinda confused. Why do you want your brakes to lock up? That is not a good thing, you want abs
Locked up brakes is the fastest way to lose traction

I don’t have enough pressure from braking to lock up my wheels

That’s your problem, u got drums in the rear
Also you got Corolla calipers and rotors
They single pot?
My skyline is single all the way around in clamp style, I assume that is the same with yours. I just bought like a month ago some 4 pots (haven’t put them in yet) gonna be a big upgrade and they look great. I would recommend getting upgraded brakes all around and converting your rear drums to calipers and rotors
Also if you wanna lock up your rears and drag some ass a lot easier I suggest getting a hydraulic hand brake
