Quick ? about rear brake upgrades
Hi everyone,
I had a quick and probably stupid question, but I would rather look stupid and know the answer than look smart and still not know . When people upgrade to a larger brake kit for the rear without the integrated parking brake - what do they do to park and keep the car stationary? Just put the car into gear? Is that sufficient? Do they take blocks to put under the tire everytime they park? Thanks in advance - Tommy

I wish someone would make a relocation kit for the rear caliper to work with slightly larger 2-piece rotor, like the Mandeville front kit - for those that do only occasional track events.
Here is the Mandeville fronts:

I would use blocks. My driveway is slanted quite a bit and just leaving it in gear is not enough. "Normal" (non-rotary) cars seem to stay in place fine, but not my third gen.
