If that upsets you, you will really have a problem with turning the rotors to their minimum to save weight! Every little bit helps.

I deleted the E brake when I installed the TH400.
I never used it in the 10 years I have owned the car.
and since its an auto..........it went buh bye.

leave it in gear and dont park on any hard inclines, if im street driving i keep a wheel block with me for extra precaution incase it sliped out of gear if im not on flat ground,

and to answer the original question, alot of the as you call it "real" racers have these aftermarket light brakes, i have strange brakes, can use the ebrake with them anyway.
