You know what sucks?
This whole friggin mess is based in the fact that SPF can't engineer a proper emergency brake. A damn emergency brake! For God's sake, how friggin difficult can this be???? This has been going on for YEARS and they're no closer to a solution. If you believe they'll have something figured out in a month (or 2 or 3), I have some coastal land in Arkansas I want to sell you.
I got so frustrated with my POS e-brake, I removed the whole damn thing and it's in ZipLock bags in my garage. I have a friendly to give me Inspections and leave the car in 3rd gear when parked.
As far as real braking, I replaced the fluid with Motul RBF 600 and replaced the stock tan pads on my 4-pot Wilwoods with a more aggressive Wilwood compound and that mother will stop you so fast your eyeballs will be on the dashboard. You will see God.
I wish you the best of luck dealing with SPF's latest "fix" to the e-brake problem and do keep us updated.
