Alternative Rear Calipers

[Mr Nordic]

Morning all,

I have fitted hi spec rear calipers to my car 6 years ago, these were the Sierra 2 lug variant also used on the Radcal and any SVA cars.

I have the hi spec billet 4 fronts and they are great, but the rears look and perform well apart from the hand brake which is not good...
They now offer a new alternative with a separate hand brake pad which looks great but you need to use cable and clamps rather than the nice Sierra OEM hand brake cable. I want to retain the standard cable rather than the cable/clamp tractor fitment ..

Can any one recommend an after market rear caliper with a decent handbrake otherwise I will fit new original Sierra ones again.

Many thanks

Hi MN, I was considering the Hi-SPec set up for my Griff, so apart from the rear calliper issues would you rate the fronts? I also have heard about the rear versions having issues with the handbrake. I was going to use a quality set of discs and retain my current rear callipers as they work very well with the handbrake. Regards, Pete

Hi Pete,

It's me your LeMans driver.

I think we are meeting tomorrow with TJ Gran marina at the trimmers, I will explain then.
