Hey

I just wanted to start off saying that I think your products are amazing and I will be buying your 6 piston BBK come tax return time. But I was wondering about the rear e-brake.

I know you are dedicated to quality and that is really good and what we need. I want to eventually get the rear brake kit but I need the e-brake to work in the fashion as which it was designed to work and not a line lock kit. I was wondering if the willwood caliper would work with an aftermarket rear rotor.

One like this:

I can already guess that there might be issues with things like clearance and size of rotor verses caliper. Prehaps there is a bigger rear rotor with the same e-brake hat size from powerslot or another company or a different caliper relocation bracket could be designed to achieve proper caliper placement.

Keep in mind I understand your commitment to quality, and I am just suggesting an idea to work with the awesome products you are producing to satisfy the demand for a working e-brake.

Also if this were to work, would the preformance be affected negatively or could you have any real estimates on that until it is actually tested?

I do have a solution in the works, but I will have to do some testing. Im 100% sure it will be way better than stock and Im positive you will be satisfied with the results. It is getting closer, I have several other projects on my plate at the moment. But if you are serious about this I had a small list of people interested in this exact product. See post 67 on this page (http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33805&page=7) . If your serious, add your name to this list and it will definitely push you guys higher on my priority list.
