I am having problems with the rear brakes for a 4th Gen Prelude. The handbrake efficiency is 6% (minimum requirement is 16%) and the service brake is at 40% (minimum requirement is 50%). Has anyone else had similar problems, is there anyway of fixing this other than replacing the brake callipers ? Cheers, Alex

Alex, Have you tried replacing the pads? Tightening the handbrake cable? Try adding some copper grease to the sliding part sof the caliper to free/ease them?
