Hi B9KOS, nice pictures. I see I have mine fitted as yours, but the matter is that i still have the original rear breaks, and maybe they don´t do the job. My car is a 3 door cosworth.
There is something else, when I pull the handbrake and at the same time I have my foot pressing the brake pedal, the handbrake lever becomes hardener and wants to come down. In that case is very difficult to pull up the handbrake.
In your opinion, what do you thing I have wrong in my system?

Mine does that as well mate It will do because your footbrake will put more pressure to the rear than you can pull with your hand.

Thanks guys.
I´m going for big brakes at the rear. I will fit the original front 4pot caliper with bigger discs, hoping to have brake-power
