Newbie question.

What's the problem with the rear, except the lost of the e-parking brake?

In other words, the only thing i lose is the parking brake (if i decide to install YES or YES some BBK both on front and rear), or the installation itself is NOT possible due to the e-parking brake presence?

Thank you!

It's possible but you just lose your parking brake. If you have a manual you can just leave it in gear and as long as youre not parking on a lot of hills like San Francisco's you should be fine.

Given that the DCT is actually an automated manual, it doesn't have a locked torque converter aka "Park" setting like a traditional manual. I would be *very* weary without further researching what exactly DCT is doing when it goes into "Park".


FWIW, I am selling the only upgrade rear caliper setup which retains parking brake function: http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthre...5#post12339585
