Dear RR, FYI you posted very similar methodology to a previous post I had on brakes and one which I have followed each time I have set the brakes up.
I always set the car on axle stands where the weight is supported on the road springs and should replicate it’s normal running position.
I had an issue with my rear axle once the car was on the road which I sorted and at that time found an additional issue with the rear brakes, a consequence of my own incompetence. So I had to replace the linings which were new items. I did and set the car up again as you describe and the only difference to my knowledge this time around is that new linings were purchased from a different supplier and I believe they are high friction material which the previous possible were not.
I will keep digging away, but thanks for your advice.
