TRX Rear BBK - A Feasibility and Practicality Study

[Warren-RB]

Two separate (main & parking) brakes like for OE Mustang GT500 or Corvette C8 Rear that comes as standard.
Pic shown is a rear CCB BBK for Corvette C8 (OE rear ePB on the right is retained.)

Something RB is planning to do?

We like to have a feedback from users like you for the need and how promising is the demand, just thinking it's an option probably more inline with a BBK with 20 or 21" wheels.

I would be 100% in for a rear upgrade if it were compatible with the 18" OEM wheels. There has been a lot of interest gathered around the Front BBK for 18" OEM wheels. I imagine all, if not most of those people would be interested in upgrading their rear brakes as well.

Rotora already makes a F&R kit for the 18 oem wheels.

Same here!

I'd be in for an 18"-wheel version to match the front 18" version of the BBK.

We will deal only the proven and legitimated system (ie. OE setup with a retrofit design).

With this conversion as an example, a 3rd caliper for parking will be added by connecting it to the existing servo motor cable, and the hydraulic hose be connected to a fixed caliper for regular braking in other words the existing single caliper is branched to 2 calipers.

By doing so the original braking integrity is retained.

Due to the retrofitting requires an extra space for caliper adaptors, therefore stock size kit is NOT possible, usually a 2" oversize (20"+ wheels) can be considered.

There are some aftermarket rear BBK which is up to user's acceptance but it's outside our discussion scope here.

Rear fixed piston caliper w/integrated ePB for TRX is at work - This is a new brake development project we are undertaking along with Raptor R and Tundra 2021+

Estimated weight saving over OE cast iron caliper would be approx. 4-5 lbs each.

Pretty cool project but why do your posts read like someone fed them into Google Translate or a Nigerian prince has an investment deal for me?

Transforming this...
(Prototype installation & testing was based on a Mercedes E450)

Into this....

Something RB is planning to do?

Not the same. It would be a 4-piston caliper w/integrated e-parking brake (5-pistons) - Combing 2 separate calipers (regular & parking) for some high end sports cars (Viper, Ferrari, McLaren, Corvette, Tesla S etc.) into one caliper like TRX OE 1-piston caliper but with the advantage of a fixed piston caliper to match with the front in performance and look.
