hello,

was wondering if this was happening to anyone else.

my 05 sti with 3.7k miles, if i park on a downward sloping road and pull up the ebrake and let go of the brake pedal, it feels like the car creeps down a bit before the e-brake catches to hold the car stationary.

has anyone else experienced this? is it a problem with the caliper pins being loose?

thanks for any insight.

dude your car is new, the inside of your rear rotors needs to get a little scored, then it will grab better.

your parking brake consists of little brake shoes that use the inside of your rear rotor hat as drums, your rear calipers have nothing to do with it.

Your brakes would be noisey as hell if your calipers weren't assembled right, but go take your rims off and check them out just to be safe.

 

group b,

thanks for your reply.
i didnt know the ebrake doesnt use the caliper! :P
i'll keep an eye on it. also i never park without engaging the tranny into 1st gear.

thanks again,

I have an 05 and it does the same thing. I don't worry about it.

 

also wait for the e-brake to hold before you put it into 1st.

 

'02 same thing, my buddies that bought theres after mine '02 and 2 '03's... same thing... not a problem
