      No. I only mount in serie the next components. In order. Stock brake master cylinder to the rear calipers, brake bias adjuster, hydraulic handbrake and I use the stock Tee. Simple and effective. You have to choose the correct master cylinder for the handbrake. http://www.rderacing.com/images/KIT-FRE-ECO.jpg

      Probably with dual calipers you don´t have the interferences between the pedal and the handbrake if you push them at the same time. Better feeling too.
      The reason why I mount this is because I can adjust the brake bias, Front to rear and I don´t have to mount an extra calipers.

      Greetings

        You will find the diff gets warm. The gearbox will stay cool.

              Cheap way to cool the diff is the finned cover from a z3.

              Yes, it's $200, but cheaper and easier than plumbing...

              You may find you do not need to- you are wise to measure first, fix if need be.
