Front brakes to rear...but what about parking brake now?
I plan on upgrading my front brakes with big ol Brembo caliper/rotor. Well,
now that I have my front calipers off the car, I figured a cheap and easy
upgrade might be to put the front stock caliper on the rear. APR says they
have put the front rotor on the rear, so I'd imagine it's possible to get
the stock caliper back there as well. my only question is this, (if anyone
knows this setup is possible I'd also like to know as well), what can I do
about the parking brake? Eric Fluhr said someone once had a separate
mechanical parking brake caliper. So on one wheel, you would essentially
have 2 calipers. Does anyone know for sure if this setup exists or what
else I can do to get a "parking" brake on the rears if I do this.
BTW- car in question is a 99 A4.
Thanks!
Later!
