Rear Brake Discs lack power

Postby michaux » Mon Jun 18, 2018 5:46 am

I have a 2008 Rear Wheel Drive 2.4L with rear discs.
Rear disc power was poor (34%). Hand Brake was more powerful...
Changed Discs, pads, bled system using air pressure system.
Still marginal (37%)
Changed pads to softest compound I could find.
Still the same.
Can anyone advise from FIRST HAND experience?
Thanks
Frank
