Where would you tee it to operate the rear brakes? Wouldn't it have to be the rear brake line?

Also, I drove losey's car with a Ksport hydro at XDC and it backfed like crazy.

Dual calipers separates the systems out and it works without interfering.

Rally dudes run pedal assemblies and those fancy valve thingies. Hard to even compare to a regular car with brake boosters and 1 master cylinder.

T-ing into the rear brakes is a bad idea. The hyrdo brake must be in between the master and rear calipers.

Right, that's why everyone does inline. And it still backfeeds.

The only way to get it to work without a separate dual caliper is to use a distribution valve. Good look getting your hands on one of those.

mine on my rally car is a wilwood cylinder inline to the rear. properly bled works just fine. You get a little kick back on the brake pedal, but odds are your not using both at the same time.

ehhh... the majority of the time that i ebrake is in "oh crap" situations, which require using both. i had a hydro in my old car and it just made my driving super boring. having an easy button like that makes you lazy... unless you have the will power to keep your hand away hahaha

You're always going to have differences in feel with an inline system. I've just never thought it was crazy to deal with, like the world will end if you don't have an independent system. Its like having pad knock back and spending 600$ on 2in bearings because setting the pads before a corner is an inconvenience.

It is inline my mistake not sure why I wrote T'ed. But my k sport is still quite hard to pull has a lot if pressure holding it. Should you not bleed it that much?

I recently put in a dual caliper hydro setup. At first I didn't like it, it was too sensitive. Then I started wanting to get closer to slow people in tandems. I forced myself to use the hydro for a whole 2 hour practice, now I HATE the stock e-brake. It slows you down too much before it actually locks things up, it takes way too much effort and time, and it's unreliable. My car is setup with a TON of rear grip, so if you run hella ganster slammed jdm drift or whatever, you won't have any trouble locking it up with the stock ebrake. I still have both ebrakes installed, I only use the stock one to hold the car in pits or while on the trailer. lol Got 2nd in Seattle FD Pro-Am couple days ago, but what do I know, I am just a stupid V8 try hard drift kid.

Best things I have done to my car drift wise:
1. Ls1
2. Dogbox
3. Hydro dual rear cal.

If I get a few more upgrades I think the car will drift on it's own and require basically zero skill. XD

I bought that valve from a shop in sweden(SELLHOLM TUNING AB) but **** still happens . if you pull the ebrake and and then you foot brake , it'll push the ebrake back down (unless your holding it with both hands lol )
