How hard can it be? DIY brake upgrades

damn, that's just too much! Have you considered running a small single piston caliper for the hand brake, or just tying the hand brake into the rear rotors? Two extra calipers seems like a lot of weight for a race car... How's it been working out for you?

I believe the stock rear brake calipers are iron?

The front calipers are aluminum.

I wouldn't be surprised if the twin front brakes calipers actually weigh less than one stock rear brake caliper...
