Anyone running an Hydraulic Ebrake?
 

hey, i'm looking at getting one for my FC3S, anyone have any complaints about these? affect braking?

where do you get them? I would imagine the only use for it is drifting so maybe you want to ask in the drift section?

If you loose the hydraulics, the handbrake won't work, so it's not really an emergency brake any more, and I don't think they're appropriate for use as a parking brake either, really only for inducing drift (also seen on rally cars).

k sport sells universal kits. idk about quality though. i think they are about 1300 or so.

they are illegal to have in a street car

How do you figure that lol.

Also a link

You can save your 1300 and use your right arm.

Where did you get that price?

K-sports site has the handle at 250 and the install kit at 190

$440 total

4th post down I saw that price. 440 sounds more like it.

God did you not even look at my link, you can do the whole setup for under $300, and it is better equipment than the Ksport unit.

Yeah I saw it! looks nice. :icon_tup:

lol. ok regardless, they are no where near $1300, more like $250USD, and im getting my setup from a person.

i am keeping my original ebrake, this is obviously for track use in my FC.


I'm more concerned with pedal feel then anything.


You guys do realize that hydraulic ebrakes are just a slave cylinder on a fancy handle... right?

No, they're a MASTER cylinder with a handle, in the brakes, the caliper pistons are the slaves.

sorry, clutch master cylinder is what i meant.

because i got a ticket for having one in my ae86
