These calipers do not have the e-brake in them. The e-brake is a separate caliper. Go to the Wilwood site to get info, then call them for specifics. Mine will end up being Wilwood Dynalite 4 pistons front and rear, 1.75" pistons front, and I think 1.5" pistons rear. There will then be another pair of calipers on the rear that will be mechanical for the e-brake.

ahh ok that makes much more sense i had emailed wilwood a few weeks ago and didnt get any sort of reply who knows. i also have seen a systems like a drum brake that sits inside the rotor as an ebrake i am just thinking that might be rather difficult to get inside a stock vw rotor

thanks for your help

just came across this picture seems basically this is what you are talking about the caliper and then the second mechanical floater caliper for the ebrake

that makes a whole lot more sense now

thanks again for the assistance

That's it! I have to make the "bracket" from scratch for my application, but that's the mechanical caliper.
