I have the same brakes on my car, put almost 40000 mles on them so far without any issues. They are naturally alittle grindy when you get on them hard. As for the parking brake, I cant imainge it being out of adjustment. On VERY IMPORTANT thing, when you put in the upper slider bolts for the rear, don't put too much grease because it will build up at the rubber end and when you tighten up the slider bolt it will actually start applying the outer pad on the last few turns.
