Nissan 370Z Forum  

I need help selecting new pads&rotors...

He's not saying yank the handbrake to drift. He's saying use it to hold you in place as opposed to the brake pedal so you don't fry your rotors.

The handbrake grips the rear tires, so any uneven depositing is much less noticeable than when it happens on the front brakes.
