turbogrill Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi, I am planning about upgrading to wilwood brakes. I wish I could keep stock but I am having bad luck with the rear caliper. The wilwood kit I am looking at doesn't come with the E-brake, is this something I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewheelerZ Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Definitely not. Ditch the e brake. Less weight, and having an E brake is just asking for someone to yank it on during a pit stop out of habit. On pit lanes that have a slope, shut the car off and put it in gear before getting out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilwheel Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Not to mention its a bad thing to have the brakes applied for 5 minutes after coming off a hot track. Easy way to build deposits and then the brake shake rears its ugly head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiredBirds Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I hope not, ours left town a while ago. Plus it is weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr650 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I went the extra step of removing all the e-brake hardware from the calipers, just one more thing that could cause a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
