NA8 Handbrake setup?

So brakes are back freshly rebuilt on one side and resleeved on the other, everything's bled and adjusted and....

It's better. I'm certainly not doing dry slides but it more or less holds now on anything but the steepest hills.

I've adjusted all the slack now so it's really hard up at about 8 clicks and I don't want to tighten it anymore as there starting to rub excessively on the rotors.

I'm curious. Can anyone lock up the rears with the handbrake?

At least my brakes are working properly now. I'll put some photos up mean I remember.

So here are some pics...

This is the caliper i rebuilt with new seals then a lick of paint

And this is the one that was resleeved, this is how i got it back from the shop.

And finally... how the car looks now.

The brake calipers must have been repainted!!

BTW what was the cost of sleeving.

A few months ago i painted all calipers, then i gave the rear left another few quotes as it looked crap after my greasy hands had been all over it and the right one which was resleeved was painted with a hammertone sort of paint by the guys who resleeved it.

Ended up costing me $250.00 to resleeve it :evil:
