This may be a stoopid question but I haven't seen anyone bring it up so...
If the rear Wilwood BBK removes the drum parking brake, what do you guys do for a parking brake? Leave it in 1st or reverse? How well does the hydraulic line-lock work?
This 4 wheel package looks like a great deal for about $2200

Factory Wilwood kits do NOT remove the parking brake.
The kits are fully compatible with the parking brake via an iron hat built for this application. Any kit removing the parking brake is not a factory Wilwood kit and should not be confused with their 13 or 14" six pot front kits and parking brake four pot rears. Note also that all factory kits have two piece rotors and do not come with one piece iron rotors.
If you prefer the alternately built kits from others that's fine but please do not reference them as being the same; they aren't.

I have this kit for the fronts. couldnt be happier. I have about 30K on them. Im on my 2nd set of pads on the first set of rotors. i've beat the **** out of them too. they hold up amazingly. Stockers are a joke in comparison. I havnt gone for the rear kit yet because the kit from this guy eliminates the parking brake. Im sure there's a way to remedy that issue, but i havnt looked into it.
Dont be scared of his prehistoric site. I've met him in person and he's a good guy.

Can you explain how that works? Would you still use the emergency lever?

You do not need the parking brake since he includes the line lock
