Re: 94 SSEi Brakes

If your rear brake pads are adjusted correctly then most of your stopping power will be in the front with less to the rear. The rear brakes can be adjusted but they are also self adjusting. If you set them too tight, they will wear down to a good fit after you have overheated and almost burned up ...
