Luxury cars with discs all round often have small drums built into the disc on the rear wheels, which is used for the parking brake. The reason being that if you park a disc braked car on an incline, with very hot discs when the discs cool the car can start to slide down the incline.

Handbrake is actually much better -

No you are correct - Absolute waste of time/effort/money, and will probably end up with an inferior braking system (certainly on the handbrake). If you have a rear engined car, and are using it on the track, then maybe???? Kish - It will probably affect (adversely) that new insurance you have as well.

I am sure I have heard people who have done this say it is not worth the effort as there is not a lot of weight at the back end, unless it is purely an aesthetic requirement. Come on somebody back me up or am I losing my mind?
