Damn i guess we know who has the money lol. I just went to a local VW shop and bought a cutting brake for 50$. I had the K sport but did not like the effort you had to use to make it work well. The CNC brake setup has something like a 4in longer handle than the Ksport and a larger piston.

Ya of course I have a link. Apparently they have went up in price a bit, expect to pay $125~ now I am not sure on the price increase but its a moot point anyways.

That is a hand brake not a cutting brake. This is the one I have.

It is cheaper but is kind of rigged, I simply blocked off the top port for the right side, and ran just one line to my rear from the left side, you can swap that around if you would rather push the brake away than pull it toward yourself.

Go with the CNC staging brake. This is what I plan on doing this winter.

Also push or pull that is the real question.

The bigger the bore the easier the action will be I know that much. But most of your power comes with how it is set up, some people like the feel of one layed down like the stock brake, other like to push or pull the handle. To me pulling made the rear lock up easier for me some disagree.

Bigger bore= more force needed when pulling handbrake.
(depends the leverage of the handle, of course)
My hydrl.brake is from Wilwood, its hooked up after abs unit. In fd its easy to do,
just take of the short brakeline that leaves the abs unit to rearbrakes.
Make new pipes and instal the brake between abs unit and rearbrakeline.
