I´ve had the same setup for years, and they have always worked excelent, how´s the condition of your discs/ pads, if they are old rusty or really worn that affects the performance of the handbrake.

But I´ve also rebuild the calipers a while before I fitted my handbrake, the self adjuster was seized on on side, so they were adjusted uneven and didnt work properly, that might be worth a try?

Brake disc and pads are in good condition and well run in.
Rebuilding calipers might be a good option as a next trial. Just need to find a rebuild kit. I skipped the rebuild before since I could not get hold of a kit. Need to search harder... Any good address (online)?
