    Big Brake handbrake solutions..

    Has anybody tried these http://www.jegs.com/p/Wilwood/757779/10002/-1 I think they might be a useable solution to the lack of handbrake when the monster brake conversion is carried out, obviously suitable brackets would have to be made and maybe some tweeking of the handbrake cables, would be interesting to here feedback on this if anyone is running a similair setup.

    Cheers

      says they go all the way to 20mm , and there is a 12mm set too so would be spot on for the s2 (10mm) but i think most if not all of the bigger vented rear upgrades are 22mm so not rly an option for an uprated system. may well be wrong about the 22mm fpor the bigger ones though.

              Yeah but silly to do that on a Coupe when a solution is already out there with a handbrake!

                  Unfortunatly or fortunatly which ever way you look at it! i have the mono block rears so im looking to try out some ideas soon, a spot caliper seems like the best solution and safest, i have seen another solution in the flesh but it didnt fill me with confidence.
                  The only negative thing i have heard about spot calipers is they can seize if used on overly hot disks, whether this is true or not i dont know.

                    If i was doing it i'd use a monoblock and one of these from brembo and mount them both off one bracket.
