RE: [DML] Re: locking up Michelins (was: DeLo's In Year 'Round Use)

well, I don't know if it is an endorsement or not, but I got all of my 
calipers and pads from Hervey.
Although the mechanic who helped me put them on (who owns a brake shop) told
me that these were about the cheapest pads you could use, although Hervey 
told me
they were the "best available".
I think that there needs to be an adjustment or some sort of an equalizer to 
give the
rear wheels a little bit more grip than the front for stopping.
This would help prevent the front tires from locking up.
If there is a way to make the rear 60 and the front 40 then that would make 
a difference.

Also, no matter what I do I can't get the damned emergency brake to have any
grip good enough to stop the car from rolling.
I was given a failed inspection because they said the E-brake doesn't work.

Any suggestions?
