What the Hell it that??? :eek:
As I was wandering the Network lockers I found a picture that freeked me out:
http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/Seraph/2383.jpg I saw a drum brake inside the disk rotor at the rear of an SVX. What the hell is that for? Parking brake I hope? No wonder the rotors warp. Tell me the front isn't the same?

Yes, it is the parking brake. It is a very good system. No the front is not the same.

On long trips you would need a few extra brake pads?

Really?
Am i going to have to replace mine on a 3000 mile trip? I'd like to think I should be able to make it home??? Are we talking the parking brake shoes, or normal disk pad?

As Lwin explained, the problem in those photos was due to "tech error."

That's all most as good as Doug's "Disk drive failure".
