Rear StopTech BBK, does it work with the handbrake?

Hello all,

picked up a front StopTech BBK for the car now debating whether to go with the rear Porsche conversion or just picking up the rear StopTech BBK kit.

But I can't find anywhere that says if the rear BBK kit still allows the use of the hand brake? Does anyone know or have personal experience with this...whether the handbrake can still be used if one swaps to the StopTech rear BBK?

Thanks.

If I am in your situation, I would pick up the rear StopTech kit to complete the setup. Then no need to worry about potential F/R bias issues due using calipers from two different manufacturers.

The rear rotor hat is different than the front and the inside does have the surface for the parking brake shoe. But someone who have it installed on their should able to confirm.

This would be my preferred route...just hoping someone can confirm the handbrake is still usable with the rear BBK

Thank you sir.

Turnermotorsports has a sale on the rear black caliper slotted kit...for $1600 USD. Although the front kit I ordered is red...$600 USD savings and a fresh coat of paint or/powercoat will solve the mismatch paint job.

Just ordered them.
