Hey Phil (and all :))!
Is there any way to adjust the hydraulic pressure to the rear a touch
greater? I don't have a clue if that is possible, but I think that would
satisfy what Phil is looking for.
To my limited knowledge, there is only 1 master cylinder which transfers the
pressure applied to the brake pedal to the actual brakes (calipers and
drums). It would be sweet if we could adjust that like the race teams can!
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hmmm. Found your post about the anti-sieze. Thanks! I'll check them out as
soon as I can.
I remember being told a long time ago, (by my Dad I think) that you could
"adjust" the rear brakes by engaging the parking brake and then going in
reverse. Or was that to adjust the parking brake? <sigh> I guess what I am
asking, is how do the rear brakes automagically adjust themselves?
Would you happen to know if rotors have any kind of warranty? (like tires?)
Just wondering if I should be talking to the dealership about getting some
cash back.
Thanks again for your time and info!
