Default BBK

Are the calipers two-piece or a forged monoblock design?
How much do the BBK front's weight and rear weight.
Did you increase the size of the e-brake pads now that you have increased the braking torque?

The calipers are 2 piece, and are much lighter than the stock cast units... what is heavier is the Rotors.. which they should be.. since the are MUCH larger.

E brake pads are stock (drum) thought about putting a more aggressive pad (for the ebrake drum only) .. but I just don't think that a cable system will fulfill my long term needs.

I PM'd the DIY + Marketplace mod "JasonZ-YA" as I think he has experience with hydraulic e-brakes. Hopefully he is able to get you some info.
