Having some issues with my rear calipers, specially with the hand brake system, With the handbrake pulled up to the last it barely will hold a small hill, you can even push the car, pedal break work fine, it's the hand brake system...

Any place or website i can order a new set of calipers with no core fee??, no refurbished or used just new....

Have you tried tightening the hand brake cable first? Usually it just requires you to tighten the bolts inside by the lever because the cable stretches over time.

maybe your rear brakes are worn down. Some new rear pads (assuming you have rear disc brakes) might tighten up the play when you engage the hand brake

everything is new, calipers means disc brake, not drum brakes, new pads, handbrake lines, discs... Again, with the pedal brake works fine, it's just the handbrake system..

When you adjusted them did you adjust them at the adjuster under the center console?
