Bram, I was at MMS and talked to Rob about your issue....basically he said that hydraulic handbrakes are:
1. Imperfect bits of equipment that take a lot of fiddling around
2. Are only meant to work with weight on the front of the car while turning in with the back light
3. Will generally not work in a straight line
4. ABS may be an issue
5. You really don't need to change your Brembo calipers
6. Maybe you're over-thinking it
7. He is happy to talk to you about it 9458 1444...give him a call
