Hola, I've got a Micra with a rear disc conversion and the handbrake is crap. I've got good discs and pads and the calipers are not seized. I have both cable handbrake lever and a large lever which is hydraulically operated. I've bled the system and had a new hydraulic handbrake lever made up which applies the maximum force for the leverage used. I've changed various master cylinders yet I still cannot get enough to get the small calipers to lock the wheels. The car is used for rallying not for just parking etc.
Has anyone had any luck with handbrakes on their cars or has anyone upgraded the rear calipers etc? I should say I've got gfi-r ones on the front too
