Steve, The main reason Superformance deleted the 4 pot caliper is that the only companys making an economical rear caliper with an e-brake was PBR and then Wilwood a few months later. With the 4 pots (no integrated e-brake) they had to add the driveshaft mounted e-brake seperately which was a cost they could delete with the integrated e-brake. CHEAPER IS THE ANSWER!

I will also say that only one person I have talked to stated that the old e-brake worked at all, and his car had 800 miles on it at the time. His car was 2 years old! Everyone else including Lance and Barry said that poor function was the main reason for the change.

As for "Vegasmike" If you know anything about the product you purchased, the entire braking system comes intact on the car. INSTALLERS DON'T ADD THE BRAKES OR ANY PART TO THE SYSTEM! If your installer is different than any I have heard of and he tampers with the brakes on his own without the consent of Superformance you and your warrantee will be hung out to dry. It's great you have a business that will put his own money into the car to insure it is perfect.

If you read the thread you'd have known
