That spot caliper is the one that I mentioned in my earlier post and "Ipsco" makes them. Just FYI. That was a solution that I discovered for GMR customers when I was involved with The GMR. Customers loved the full floater "movement" when GMR/I introduced it years ago, BUT like you, they all wanted a parking brake since they were also running on the street and this would be needed and was one of the solutions I came up with. Will it hold a parked car? Sure will,,, on a steep incline/decline,,,, nope. Will it work in an emergency type situation? Nope, it will not. This is however a great solution for a traditional full floater that will spend most its life at the track and needs something to hold it in place while it warms up.... PLUS you will need a weld-on bracket to locate it onto your axle tube which again makes this a fabricator type item/install of which I actually do have the brackets for.... as you will see by the time you purchase these spot calipers, brackets to weld to the axle tube to hold them, pay a fabricator to install,,,,, you will have spent more than the actual entire C6 Corvette E-brake set-up that works flawlessly, and is proven, and is available at your local GM dealer or online parts stores....

Not just cuz its mine, but if a guy told you he had a set-up that reaped the benefits of a traditional full floater, required basically zero maintenance, and incorporated an actual Emergency Brake (not park brake), and you could run the brake manufacture of your choice,,,, wouldn't this pretty much fit the bill? What more could you want? Just ask, maybe it does it too

Just wondering if you have any ideas on how i could get rid of my stock parking brake pedal and relocate somewhere else? Not sure where, or how else to do this, but I've been looking for idea.

In your previous link you shared, it mentions that your kit requires 33 spline axles from Strange Engineering. I tried going to their website but for whatever reason it's down. Since I need a new complete shortened rear end w/posi, I was wondering if you had any recommendations who I might order the entire rear end from? You had mentioned in your post below that Strange was on board, so I was hoping I could look at their options online. Anyone in particular I should talk too? Other options to look at?

Also, as I have already recieved my Forgeline wheels will they fit onto the hub you are offering and will the studs be the same size as those on my Baer Pro+ front hubs?
