by going to a BBK in the rear, you will lose the parking brake, as the drum is incorporated into the rear

Also, if BBK is not designed for the TL, you will upset braking bias!

it would be best to use a "cover" to freshen up the aesthetics of the rear caliper

Brian from fastbrakes created a kit for me that uses stock handbrake features... as for the brake bias, the rear was braking as hard as front and it was far from ideal... I have fixed that problem now and would not go back to stock rear brakes for sure.
