Default Brembo parking brake adjustment?

My parking brake doesn't like holding my car in one spot AT ALL. I always park in gear but it's a little unnerving knowing that my parking brake doesn't work. I tried searching but couldn't find an answer. How do I make it hold better and tighten it up?

you need to adjust it! Jack the rear of the car up, remove the wheels. You'll see a rubber grommet on each hub. Look on the disc bells as old fashioned drum brakes, which is how the e brake works on the Z. Turn the hub so this grommet is at the top, then remove it. With a flat blade screwdriver reach in hole left by the grommet and turn the knurled adjuster down the ways until the hub no longer turns. Then adjust it back a click, make sure the hub now turns. Do this for both sides, don't forget to replace the grommets and refit the wheels!!!!!
If you're daunted at all by this, best to take it to a dealer. Park it in gear in the meantime.

Hope that helps.
