    Default Hand Brake question

    Hello everyone,

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this(link provided below) is a viable option for the handbrake mod(for a 2013 RS) and if it is everything I need. It is much cheaper than the ISCI version

    Default Once more..!!

    This has come up earlier. No one seems to have dealt with this system. We need a guinea pig who can let us know. Will having brembo only half way work or should you change disks and calipers..??

    this needs more investigation. This item came on the radar shortly before the 2013 models were introduced.
    At that time we didn't know that the 2013 models would have Brembo braking systems.
    I suspect that it is for the new systems only but I'm not sure.
    If I had a 2013, I would be checking it out, as I really like my handbrake.

    You get what you pay for. What they show and describe is insufficient to do the job as a secondary brake actuating mechanism. If it is meant to replace the foot-operated control, it may or may not have enough pressure and volume to do the job. Without specifications, guarantees, or user testimonials or references, who is to know? It could be dangerous (and possibly illegal) to completely do away with the foot operated brake, anyway. Looks ill-conceived at best, and could be a rip-off. JMHO

    ISCI's system is more expensive... But it's a proven perfomer with a Company that stands behind their products.
    Now the question has to become; how much is your safety worth to you?

    Ditto. I have the ISCI system and am extremely satisfied with it.

    How long is the average install with the ISCI piece?

    I had my dealer do it and they charged four hours labor. It was the first ISCI system that they had installed.

    OK, I was going to see if the dealership would do it. This might be the safest plan. Thanks everyone
