On the same note, that's what mine does. And I have fresh pads as well. And it stops the car and holds it on a hill, and seems to grab pretty low, but it takes a ton of effort to actually lock the tires. I need to climb under the car and see what's going on with that too.
samzies. yea, im gonna try that 17mm on the caliper, but lmk how it works for you if you get to it first. im busy with work, and modding z33 seats to s-chassis this week... but hopefully thats our prob...

and when i tighten that, it just makes it harder to pull the brake. still the same effect, just worse. lol
