fitting another set of calipiers wont help your likly to break something

personally i dont think you can have a hydralic handbrake and keep the ABS ,the whole idea of ABS is to prevent the brakes from locking something thats need to be able to use a handbrake properly

 

I know of cars with ABS and a hydraulic, but I haven't seen any Evo's done. As far as I understand, as long as the hydraulic is plumbed in after the ABS pump, its not an issue. Because it has a separate line back to each rear caliper, a twin cylinder hydraulic is needed.

An extra set of calipers are going to be a pain to mount.

 

this is what youd need a twin clynder that fits in to the rear lines

you could make something similar using 2 side by side master clyinders

like this that way you wont need to fit a second caliper

 

why do you need to keep the ABS ??? surly that restricts your braking quite allot

 

The OBP one is what I'd need.

I just like my ABS and quite a few people in my club still run their ABS, a number that got rid of it wish they had kept it. I'm running Brembos and XP10's all round and have under heavy braking managed to get a lock up, even with the ABS. Everyone has a different opinion and idea, and I know alot of people will say straight out to ditch the ABS, it can't be a real race car with it, but thats their opinion. I see more advantage to keep it, then remove it.

 

im running brembos on xp10s and have no issues what so ever locking stuff up i get an odd one from the front but thats more the car getting out of shape on entry more than anything

my hydralic hand brake works a treat tho it can be flicked around on a dime

but your right about ABS on race cars its does work VERY well

are you running a servo

 

Its full factory ABS, just with XP10's at the moment, so I guess thats a yes on the servo?

The ABS does work well, and it maybe me being abit lazy, but I feel I have more consistency with the ABS, one less thing to concentrate on when racing and therefore keeps my racing fun, and having fun its whats important. To lock up a wheel with my ABS means to me I'm still on the limit with braking, and ditching it isn't likely to help me stop any quicker and is more than likely going to make my times slower. The goal is to get faster! lol

 

On the IX I removed the spring in the handbrake button and fitted Project MU brake shoes and it worked a lot better for handbrake turns, while not as good as hydraulic it may be an alternative.

 

Not a bad idea, but I'd still want a big lever up near the steering wheel to grab quickly. I've tried using the factory hand brake, its too far away and due to that inconsistent. I only used it on my last event on 2 hair pins in desperation.

 

I was going to modify the handle on mine so it was easier to grab with a race seat, once the shoes are bedded in they lock up the rear wheels very well.
