Default My ebrake sucks.

How do I make my ebrake hold better? I have a 90 CRX Si with rear discs. Its starting to **** me off. I just did rear rotors and pads and adjusted the calipers out to where I didnt have any drag but still had ebrake. I also tried adjusting the nut by the ebrake handle to no luck. My driveway is slightly sloped and if I just lean against my car itll creek down a few inches, I can push it down the whole thing.

Tighten the adjusters on the cable.

PS: Discs don't hold better then drums, don't expect it to ever hold as good as your drums did.

Are you talking about the adjuster behind the ebrake handle in the cabin? I tried that already. I never had drums, it came with discs.
