Rear brake pad / caliper mod suggestions
Guys, I would like to ask what rear pads people have on their car. I am looking for something that I can use to lock the rear wheels.

Shortening the handbrake handle

Anyone installed rear brake pads before?
Ok... driving along - then grind grind grind (really loud by the time I got home :o ). Thought it was a stone in the rotor shield - but no. Pulling the handbrake up or braking stops it momentarily - so it looks like my rear brakes are toast. Sure enough, on inspection the inside pads are...- I-nearly-bought-a-batty
