did you bed the brakes?? maybe a dumb question? surprised nobody has commented about it. you only get about 75% of the full braking force on brakes that have not been bedded properly.

 

I almost didn't realize what you meant at first SaberD lol. The word you meant is "burnish"

 

Yea I've bled and burnished/bedded/bled them. They're progressively getting better. The e brake has also been adjusted but still not locking up the tires. Now I'm thinking its either not fully bedded pads or bad calipers. Chime in if you have knowledge on that lol. Might be buying some otherwise. :-/
