These brakes look like new(very recently renewed) but the rear activates before the front brakes and grabs,like locks up! with only light pressure on the pedal.The job appears to have been professionallly done,new rotors, turned drums,all new springs and retainers, nothing looks hincky, but until the car has been driven for awhile(10-15minutes) those rears just grab like crazy(adjustment is right on)???????

check to see it the drums have any grease or dirt on them. sometimes even with a little graese , when hot it will cause them to lock up.
