I tossed DA rear brakes on my 1988 Crx Si, and ordered new OEM DA ebrake cables. After installing the cables along with adjusting the the tightness at the handle it still hardly holds the car in place. Its like they are the wrong length, but they fit perfect. Any ideas guys?

Here is a picture of the car in question for fun.

 

afaik DA rear brake cables ARE too long.
when i put rear discs on my 89 crx i just bought brand new e-brake cables for a 1990 crx on Amazon for about $60 shipped for the pair. they bolted up perfectly in all the stock mounting points, were the perfect length since they were for the car, and they have been fine for a few years now.

 

I used the DA cables that came with my conversion. I just routed them on a different path to make up the extra length. Brake holds and feels tight.
