Default Parking Brake???
I just bought some strange drag brakes for the rear not even thinking about the parking brake. Anyone know if a parking brake is required for tech or true street rules? I have a th400 trans.

The parkign brake won't be required, all the drag brakes remove it.

You just saved an additional amount of weight, you get to ditch the level, cables, etc, and you can remove the brackets off the rear

NO i understand it will be deleted. I just want to make sure i dont need a Ebrake for True street class tech. If i do i will be changing brakes. I could care less about the Ebrake!

You can certainly trust JL ws-6 when he responds to your questions. He knows his stuff!

Toss the ebrake and be done with it.

op wants to know if you have to have it to run True street class. I think it shouldnt matter anyways. Ebrake doesnt make it a street car, But idk
