i know i had to settle with about 6 or 7 clicks so that my brakes don't rub when the e-brake is off. have you tried spinning the wheels after adjustment to make sure you aren't just wearing down your pads, which would make it necessary to adjust again? just a thought, not sure if it's right.

perhpas one of your lines is broken or too stretched

there are line locks you can buy which will lock the pressure to all 4 wheels or 2 wheels at a push of a button and are mechanically controled (not a linelock which would require constant power to activate)

they are cheap and can be bought from jc whitney or summit racing or jegs.
