94 Acura Integra RS,right rear e-brake engagement insufficient, left rear caliper leaking, replaced both rear calipers, brake pads and rotors. Adjusted e-brake cable, left rear holds firmly after 6 clicks of the e-brake handle where as the right rear wheel spins with slight drag. I noticed where the two cables split at the e-brake handle that the right rear cable sits longer when the e-brake is engaged. The pin on the right rear caliper moves freely. It appears as if it’s not pulling the cable enough to firmly engage the right rear brakes. Before I pull the exhaust and heat-shield down to check the cable for issues is there something that i’m missing?

I don’t know what the adjustment specs are for your Integra, but a lot of the parking brakes I’ve worked on called for full engagement at 3 clicks. Maybe 6 clicks is still too loose?
Is there an adjustment mechanism at each rear wheel? If so, and if your “click adjustment” at the handle is correct, maybe the adjustment at the right rear wheel is out of whack. If all of that checks out good, then you’ve probably got a stretched or partially-seized cable somewhere in the right-side activation system.
