If you are out hard driving and come to a stop, situations such as track days, or driving on a hard twisty road and stopping at a gas station. you need to get out of your car. you do not apply your parking brake. you simply leave the car in gear. why do you do this?! READ whats quoted above QUOTE you are braking hard, this brake heat normally lasts just as long as your engine heat. when you stop you shouldn't be applying your e-brake, but leaving your car in gear to hold it. having an e-brake applied on heated brakes can easily cause severe rotor damage. thus if you have no parking brake applied, how are you going to use the TT since its safety wired to your ebrake.. come on now. |
