I'm planning to run a Wilwood Spot Caliper (12 O'Clock). It's on the list for 2015. I have the parts to make this electronically actuated but you could use the stock E brake handle. They are pretty cheap for a universal solution. They are available in various rotor widths.

I built a bracket for this setup years ago, but never ran them on the street.
Click to view attachment The late Wes Hildreth put a pair of them on one of Mike Floyd's 914s. Mike quickly found out that if you set the park brake when hot, you have to jack the car up, pull the wheel, and hammer the hell out of the park brake caliper to get it to release. I was at Wes' shop when Mike demonstrated it.
If you look on Wilwood's site, you will notice that even they stopped selling them for use as a park brake in their kits. They went to the small drum brake like a 911.
Hopefully Mike will chime in here with some first hand experience.
