Default rear brake kit upgrades

I've used the ECS now for some time, including track and winter use, without difficulty (aside from the installation process, which requires careful bending of the metal brake lines). I like it. I've not had any bias issues (including hard braking from high speeds on a track) that everyone fretted about when these came out.

AxeYrCat did not have the same luck, and lost a bolt on his that caused catastrophic brake failure. Don't know anyone else that's run into that problem, so I'm hoping it's a fluke, but I have mine checked whenever it's in for service.

Other than ECS, I believe that Stasis now has a nice rear kit, and Fatbrakes.com was working on a Wilwood kit. You might want to search on both those. Keep in mind whatever you choose, it's going to be largely aesthetic and not really that much of a performance enhancer since the front brakes obviously do most of the braking, as you know. Not sure if either of those other kits lose the parking brake, which would be my first question for either of them. Good luck!
