I understand your thought process, but the parking brake won't transfer material on our cars. The parking brake is actually a separate drum type brake inside the hat of the rotor. In fact, when I get my brakes REAL hot and have to come to a stop, I engage the e-brake to keep the hot pads off the rotors.
