Brembo conversion-now my handbrake wont hold the car
Am at my wits end with this one.Ive a bugeye wagon and have recently had Brembos front and rear fitted.
The conversion meant that the installer bought some new brake shoes.
However,since they were changed,the handbrake constantly needs readjusting and just wont hold the car.
The installer has changed all of the springs and has checked everything else possible.But the problem comes back after about a day, ie the handbrake gradually works looser and looser,until its just not holding the car at all.
My main question is,could this problem be due to faulty brake shoes or does anyone have ANY ideas what the problem could be.
Cheers for your help

A lot of brembo rear conversions need special double thickness brake shoes since the handbrake drums are bigger.
