My handbrake has to be pulled up way too high for it to take effect. I want to adjust it down to like 4-5 clicks. Does anybody know how I can adjust the hand brake? Thanks

yea theres a lil bolt to the right side of the handle just tighten it or loosen it to your specs. to get to it just push the rubber fitting that goes around the hand brake aside.

that is one way to do it, but the proper way to do it would be to take off the rear rotors/drums (depending on what you have) and adjust the adjuster. If you have an ST, this is definately the way you wanna do it.
