Reply to "What Are the Parking Brake Options with Aftermarket Brakes"

When I was upgrading my brakes with the help from Ken Green and Ike Burrid, I was considering put the Brembo E brake from a Dodge Viper but would have had to have an adapter made.  I believe this was part of Ken’s upgrade if you went with the full Saco upgrade.  Before I went with the Ipsco e brake I was doing some research on this and spoke with a gentleman who did Brembo brake upgrades on Lotuses.  He told me that the E brakes on the Vipers wouldn’t stop the car that quickly.  He pointed out that given the amount of surface provided by e brake pads was not enough to stop the mass of the car.  During the conversation I told him about the Brembo upgrade that Ken and Ike came up with using the Porsche 996TT calipers which was of interest to him, but I digress.  Hope this helps.
