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.

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?
