Foot Brake Adjustment?
Before I get slammed for this thread, I just want to say that I did use the search button, but all the came up is the adjustment for the RX with rear brake shoes.
Reason I started this thread was because my wife. She loves to smash the hell outta her foot brake on her IS350 and was nice enough to smash the hell outta mine the other day when she drove my car. Now the foot brake just doenst grab the same at an incline as opposed to when i first got the car or prior to her driving.
So question is:
Is there a way for us DIYers to Adjust the Foot Brake OR would we just have to bring up the issue to the dealer to be added in there for service? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and if there is a DIY for this, please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

There's also a cable adjustment. I adjust the shoes first, then the cable and it works quite well.
