Burley's kit is a copy of the SC kit and they both use the same parts. Many of my customers have had just as much trouble getting the parking brake to work well on both kits. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Ed McLean Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2016 6:05 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Thoughts on the coming rear disc brakes from GW? So, other than the bracket that attaches the carrier to the hub, how are the Burley Motorsports rear disc brakes different than the SmallCar or the GoWesty kits? Are the pads different composition with different cold FMSI friction codes? The calipers look the same in the available pictures but are they different? Are there other factors that would impact parking brake efficiency? Do the Burley parking brakes really work better?
