for you guys who own a set, what did you come up with for a alternative parking brake if you have one?

edit: I guess I'll just use stock S13 caliper/parking brake. Does the stock S13 parking brake rely on the caliper piston/seal when parking brake is in use?

There is a mechanical lever that clamps down the pads. So no, the brake lines don't apply pressure to the pads via the caliper.

On a side note, I ordered my rear drop knuckles the day or day after they were released.

Installed them along with solid subframe bushings, adjustable control arms, and the front angle kit as well.

The car drives awesome and now has a ton more rear grip while drifting. I also daily drive my car and it handles more predictably over bumps in the road now from reduced bump steer in the front and some corrected geometry in the rear.

Some of the runs from the last drift day I did with front SAK and rear drop knuckles installed:
Car performed flawlessly all day and even on the super rough surface of this place was able to hold my line all day compared to most who were struggling. Thanks for an awesome product!

I posted the links since on the preview its not showing the videos. Hopefully when this posts it will have the videos embeded.

that hoverting is the shit, there is some real money shots in there. If that was cut with on car and hand held shots, that would be a really cool video.

Thank you Dan. That was me filming. My first time trying it with my quad not to bad for straight raw footage. Wanna trade a brand new one full setup for some z33 coil overs?
