Justin- Post up a link when you get to ricer.dot.com. 
Chris, I'm seriously considering your idea. I already got some potential parking brake parts in the mail today. I just need to make two brackets, and two spacers. Time will tell if this works out...:icon_conf They would only be for parking, not emergency stops.
That rotor is from ARZ (Andy) fyi.

Ah, I know what your gonna do
. That should work as long as you fab up a good, rigid bracket. BTW, no pink pumpkin?Hero- Just the black is painted. The cover is just really clean. I don't want you thinking it's some chrome paint.:nono:
Starscream- I ran out of that pink, and it turns out they stopped making it.:3d_frown:
I can't wait to see how I hack together some brackets with my arc welder.:naughty:
Arz- Any thoughts?

Do you think that tiny caliper will hold all of the car's weight though? You're just using one correct?

That's the parking brake "caliper"2kV6 said:
It's not for emergency stops, as he stated, just clamps the rotor real tight, and probably has little to no friction material.
Looks good Dave! Time will indeed tell on that brake. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens
There will be two of them. If I can figure out how to mount them, they might work for a while.starscream5000 said:
2kV6- ^^Supra90turbo is correct.
HPF Kyle- Thanks for checking in! Only you can get this thread moving again. Cams are what it's all about. :cry:
Thanks in advance for whatever you can do to get cams shipped out.
Milo is taking it the worst. Ever since the other day, he has this evil look like he's going to eat me. It's kinda scary.
Kurt- yeah, the "pads" are pretty small. I think they might work pretty good as a parking brake, I just will need to watch closely that they aren't wrecking my new rotors.
Has anyone put a mini rotor on the drive shaft? That's what these are really for. I didn't rule that out yet either.
Yea I have see those and would never consider them in a kit that looks and works this good. As is the similar Wilwood brake that looks almost identical (except for the color). Remember I commented on these before? http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=404518&postcount=150
They are very cheaply designed (no offence). Probably more suited for a go-cart.
I know all about those and have tested them on other applications and when not applied they rattle like loose lugnuts inside a cheap hubcap, or little pieces are going to fall out of the wheels. On a dirt driveway they are turely annoying.

There are no such thing as Emergency brakes in cars today. They havent been in cars since the 20's. All the hand or auxilary brakes used in cars today are specifically for parking.Buckshotglass said:

Arz- I kinda figured you would say that. I'm am not overly impressed with these calipers, that's for sure. I do need to do something. If my car was not turbo, I wouldn't even bother. I'm trying to avoid turning the car off hot, in an effort to make my turbo last a little longer.
Starscream- Yes a line loc will work for short periods of time. As far as the calipers know, it's just like you were still standing on the brakes. Which is why it works well, and also why you don't want to leave it on for any length of time.
I will probably run a hyd line loc on the front for fun, and some kind of mechanical set up in the rear, for actual parking. I need to get my rear subframe back in in order to see clearly what I need to do.
90- Yes it would. Need to find, or make room.
Freak- He's possessed. Eagles are going all the way, next time.
