that supposed to be "no need"? Even if there isn't a need, people want full bbk's, not just fronts i bet.

But thanks for the testing and developing dude.

Mmm...black or red calipers here i come.

the r&d developer said they wanted to try to fit the largest caliper they could in there.

Thats nice! I like it! Biggest possible.

You said there is or isn't going to be r&d for rear or no?

it's because we have a cable e-brake and most of these big brake kits have hydraulic e-brakes.

its safe to say i'm getting yellow.

are the rotors for yours dark grey like that eric? cuz that would look sick a f**k behind my black wheels.

Yeah people will want all 4 to match. It should be an option or something when they put it on sale. To get both or just rear, or just fronts.

Rotara is a good, popular company. So they have the means to do it.

what im saying is our rear calipers have the e-brake, and that system is cable actuated. the calipers Rotara uses, are hydraulically actuated. you would need a hydraulic brake lever and reservoir for the system to work.

Actually all you NEED if youre just looking to make your car legal is a "line-lock" solenoid. And you make yourself an electrically controlled hydraulic activated park brake. Not sure If Id want to use a system like that if I lived in a hilly town simply because the solenoid would get so much use, and I am not sure what their life span is under constant use like that. A hydraulic handbrake would be cool to, but youd have to modify it so it could work with a ratchet setup like stock does. And it would be WAY more money/time invested. But you could go rallying.

You could always get some Bentley GT rear calipers with the electronic park brake built in.

I dont think Todd has gotten the rear setup done yet, I am pretty sure I heard he is working on it though.
