Are the rear calipers still in their OEM location? There is an adjustment, IIRC...


Yes, currently still OEM. there is no adjustment other that the free play adjustment, which I was told is NOT for the Parking Brake..

Example, I kept my 89 and my 90 both on my Kwiklift, they both sit at an incline, I chock the wheels and leave it in gear and set the brake,.. my 89 with the chocks gone and clutch depressed, car sat still. my 90 starts rolling off the lift. I want the brake to hold some of the weight too, it doesn't.. Parking brake is a crap design, they went back to the drum brake in 1997
