Even if you set your drums looser, they should eventually self adjust back to the right setting. That's why the truly dangerous ecomodders take out the adjustment arm, so that they can manually adjust them to an optimally-loose setting. Even if you set them too tight, they'll loosen as the pads wear. Then when they wear to the point they're too loose, bam, they self adjust to be tighter again and follow the wear.

Problem is that I enjoy having a well adjusted parking brake.
