Default wilwood bbk

For those of you with a wilwood bbk, how do you park without the ebrake? Are you not worried about rolling away?

Obviously the front brakes don't matter in your question.

However, the only rear Wilwood factory produced kit for your vehicle retains the factory parking brake within the supplied iron hat. It's a 100% bolt on and does not effect your use of the parking brake at all.

so the ones without the ebrake are made with wilwood components but not sold as a kit by wilwood?

Thanks for the info!

1. Yes, any Wilwood caliper shod kit without the stock e-brake is an aftrmarket producut not produce by the Wilwood factory. This alone does not however mean they are bad products. Only that they really should be sold as manufactured kits and not Wilwood kits. Personally producing many kits in similar fashion I know it's hard to distinguish between the two. But they are not the same and a vendor should explain this to you.

2. No, you do not lose the parking brake with any REAR bbk. You may however in some designs and it should be openly stated as such. In the case of the FACTORY WILWOOD kit this is not the case at all.
