Second pair of rear calipers.

[Vladim]

Hey guys. I'm using rear suspension from E39 in my project, and I'm wondering: Does someone put second pair of calipers for hand brake?

How you going to mount the second set of calipers?

e brake is a drum brake internal to the rotor, cable operated by the lever. i do remember seeing a post on the other forum quite a while ago by an eastern European who did add a second caliper (for some reason) to change the e brake to hydraulic, with all the machining specs parts etc.

Have you actually examined the rear suspension? If so, you will have discovered the parking brake.

I'm not asking about parking brake, I need second set for hydraulic brake, drift etc

You probably could simply us a more aggressive pad in the rear

I believe what the OP is asking how would one install a second set of calipers for a special application use, i.e. to lock the rear wheels on a corner for sliding the rear around- AKA Drifting. All you will need is some fabrication skills and a caliper (Small and easy one-two bolt mount up)

Wilwood calipers should have something you are looking for. https://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperListLanding

Lots of fab work required.
Maybe modify the hydraulic system and add 2 levers with their own hydraulic cylinders.

I think that second one in that image is a parking caliper....

Yes, it is. It's an option on the car I'm building.
