Re: Stopping Distances
Here is why it is a bad idea use E brake to stop moving car:
There are several versions of the backing plate which were reinforced in an attempt to correct SERIOUS damage when folks used emergency brake to stop the car.
Here is some MINOR damage that I have seen over the years.
This is an early NON modified backing plate.
The latest version also prevents the emergency band from moving sideways.
Sometimes the wheel will lock up!
I have installed the later version BUT have never tested to see if USING E brake to stop will still damage the backing plate.
