uhh what do you mean "front parking brake"? AFAIK the parking brake is located in both rear wheels.

Front parking break,the back two are ok
It could be called a parking brake control

Emergency brake is only on the rear wheels. They are located in the "hat" portion of the rotors. Either way, front brakes will work whether it was a 2+0 or a 2+2, they are the same. The first models came with smaller brakes in 1990, they are 26mm, then in 91 they came with the larger 30mm.

For a small upgrade you can get 91+ for a little larger brakes. But you will need new calipers and rotors fro it to fit correctly.

Emergency and parking brake are relatively the same thing, some just forced in our head to call emergency brake not parking brake.

IIRC both czp and Z1 sell a new cable, but I believe they sell it has a whole (all three sections)
