ya ive heard alot of people talk about the dual break setup and it would be nice. ive also heard about taping into the rear break line. the stock ebreak works but i dont want to have to pll it that far or hard. ive used it before and its not bad but i would like a touchier setup.

Awsome guys Thanks alot good info. I love it. Now i have a fc and not alot of money at the moment. I do go to the scrap yard alot lookin for parts. Is their a car that the willwood master goes on that i can take or somthing similar????? As far as the handle ill fab my own for i have a hand gernade that would make a sick handle. I would like to do the dual break but havnt found anyone to make the bracket so i think ill have to go with a T line. Ive heard it makes your breaks a little softer but mine are a little stiff. Have been since i got er. And could someone explain how a staging break setup works ive tryed looking it up and havnt grasped it yet. Thanks guys

seriously though. the stock fc ebrake works great. buy new(cheap) pads for the rear*, adjust the calipers. and the cable. then let it rip. if you tie into the stock brake line you will most likey mess stuff up. especially if you have a master cylinder that had a reservior.
You will not get any brake feel. every time you hit the brakes all that will happen is the second(ebrake) reservior will overflow. it would be different if you were running a second caliper. but since you arent you will be digging yourself a large hole. and if you were to go test drive the car with your brake setup like that you would be in a world of hurt. no brakes, not ebrake, no good.
Dont think you need one just cuz so and so has one. If you want one to be cool then just save up and buy one. if you cant afford 200 bucks for one then you probably cant afford to even put one to any real use, other than to be cool.

same thing as a hydraulic ebrake. 150 bucks. I think jegs or somewhere has one for cheaper. then just buy lines.
A staging brake works just like an hydro ebrake. i dont understand your question. if you put it on your front brakes then you tie it into the lines up front. for the rear into the lines for the rear.
* the purpose of running the cheapest rear pads is that they tend to lock up the rear real easy and a lot faster. rather than trying to slow down the wheels. run real nice pads up front and cheap autozone rear. i run project mu 999 pads up front and whatever autozone, checker, napa no name brand junk in the rear.

ok . so joshuaput how tight can i get the stock ebreak??? like so im not pulling it a mile and a half to slide. thats why i want the hydro. im not throwing it in to be cool but for the best reaction. i want a quick pull and thats it. ive always used the ebeack before and they do work but i want a shorter pull. i would like the dual breacks in the rear but if i can make it cheaper and easyer then i can put the money where i need it more. and for the staging break i just dont understand how it works. i mite be running my car non turbo for drifting so i just want to be able to huck it right. and i will set up the ebreak so its upright so its easyer to grab. and does anyone know where to get the fc mounting plate for dual breaks for the rear????

mine is full lock at about half throw. umm. in other words the tip(the button) only moves about 3.5 inches upwards when its enguaged. also ive welded extenders onto other cars ebrakes to put them in the hydro location and it works fine. i would find a pic but you really dont care and neither do i.
