> Personally, I'm not sure I would trust hydraulics alone. What is that "the handle with locking mechanism" looks like? I'm not sure I completely understand this. If you were to grab a drift car level brake and glorify the handle with locking mechanism, you might have something on the cheap. > Back in the day when we built sand rails, you placed turning brakes in line with the brakes to the rear of the car. The initial idea was to replace the stock handbrake and so I could reuse that place for the hydraulic one, at least it will not require extra holes and if someday I will change my mind and return everything back without any traces. As an alternative solution - I think I could keep the current stock handbrake and place a new hydraulic one, but it will mean that I will need to make some holes in my tunnel at least and that's why I wanted to avoid. Though, it might be also returned back, so it might be a question someday, but I just close my eyes on it for now. so far the annual inspection was canceled in Ukraine, so it should not be a problem (unless I will try to sell the car ). > If your car goes through annual inspection, these mods won't fly. The main idea was to start using the handbrake for making U-turns, you know? It's too weak to lock the rear wheels on the go. Stock handbrake hold the car well on the hills, and yes, I also use first gear just in case, but so far I haven't had any problems holding the car with the handbrake. Oh, probably I was not clear enough for the purposes of this. You do leave it in first gear, yes? That alone should hold it on most hills. > I wouldn't call these an emergency brake any more. Something like this: 2006 Mazda 6, 3.0V6, rear caliper Maybe go on a quest for calipers with mechanical levers that operate the pads. Personally, I'm not sure I would trust hydraulics alone. If your car goes through annual inspection, these mods won't fly.īack in the day when we built sand rails, you placed turning brakes in line with the brakes to the rear of the car. stock handbrake that will connect to caliper directly and will use brake pads.Īny thoughts on it would be much appreciated, thanks!Īny thoughts on it would be much appreciated, thanks!I wouldn't call these an emergency brake any more. As a fallback option, probably there's a conversion kit that will allow to use stock cable handbrake with brake pads instead of brake shoes, i.e. Basically, I'm looking for a conversion KIT to replace my stock rear calipers with ones that would work well with ABS but will also have another circuit for connecting a hydraulic handbrake. I know Ksport big brake kit called dualcomp supports it, like this one: - but it costs $2k+ and it's way expensive than I would like to spend on it. I wonder if there's a cheap way to replace stock calipers with ones that support dual circuit. I have IS 250 2006 MT and it can really block the wheels only when you turn the wheel, not when you drive straight. Has anybody tried to install a hydraulic handbrake in 2nd generation of IS250? Cars with manual transmission have handbrake instead of footbrake that AT cars have, but it's too weak to block the wheels on the go when you drive straight.
