As above.
Unless you fit a third "spot" caliper specifically for handbrake, could even mount it inboard maybe, if you fancied a challenge?

rally design seel willwood spot calipers. they should be ok for mounting to the existing discs, with the addition of a new bracket to mount them with

if its only for a class requirement you can easily set up a hydraulic hand brake, but for registration i think you will need a mechanical one, if so
its change calipers for a rear set i'm afraid.

understeer= when you hit the wall front first
oversteer=when you hit the wall back first
HP= how fast you hit the wall
Torque= how far the wall moves when you hit it

They are far too big for use as rear calipers anyway --- take a look at the rear calipers and brackets fitted to the Rover 600 these might be easily
adapted to your brackets..
