Rear brakes are doing OK at around 50%.
The last brake job i did turned out fine, and i took about the same steps as i did this time--I don't say EXACT same steps, because that's a bit of time gap to remember everythign perfectly
My break in period wasn't exactly as you had stated above, but i considered my 'break-in" period to be returning the orig calipers/rotors to the parts shop, which is about a 15 minute drive each way mostly flat with speed ranging from 25-35mph the whole way there w/ several stopping points along the way as well.
I agree with you! I thought that bendix brakes were the cream of the crop, but these ones have thorougly sucked for me so far. Maybe it's just this batch, or they are some kind of knockoffs! I'll have to check the boxes and part #'s again to be sure.
