Rear Brakes Wont Hold

[tommy gun 6]

Is there anything i can do to the standard 1.9 rear discs to hold the car back when i warm the tyres at pod.

They never hold and the car just wheel spins off, they pass mot fine and they work fine on the raod????

Hydraulic handbrake or a line lock.

rebuild the calipers and fit new cables with o.e pads,. did the trick for me though I don't make a habit of wheelspinning with the handbrake on

What about going retro and fitting drums

Drums lock better IMO

Correct! Drums are more effective and reliable than discs. Harder to maintain/work on though.

I wouldnt say they are harder to maintain really?

how hard would it be to fit a hydraulic hand brake?
