I've read up on hydraulic e-brakes and it seems as though they're not as efficient as stock e-brakes if your car is just a DD. I was just curious if anyone is running a hydraulic e-brake, and any thoughts about them.

 

There's pretty much no reason to have them on a DD. I've only seen it once, and the guy did it because he had a rear BBK that couldn't use the stock ebrake. Never saw how it was actually set up though.

 

Pm danegerous on the forum he has one on his drift fc

 

any replacement for the stock E brake interests me. i could then run an uprated rear rotor and perhaps 4 piston r caliper.

what links do you have?

Maybe you could run some version of a MICRO-LOCK system? That would operate all four corners through the existing lines. They use them on larger trucks and off-road vehicles, but I think they're a little pricey. I'm also not certain of the effects of long term use/engagement.

 

You may be referring to Mico, not Micro.

Here's a product sheet: http://mico.com/products/images/37_docfile.pdf

Here's a site that has some for sale, though I don't know if any of these are appropriate for an FD http://www.awdirect.com/default2.asp...TN&CID=AWGLVTN

 

the Mico Lever Lock, looks like it would solve the e brake problem... for $213. we can now run a real rotor and caliper on the FD.

Yes, I was. Sorry, and thanks for clarifying it.

 

Mico also makes the same pump without the lever. its cable activated so you can still use the oem handbrake (interior). As for the 4channel ABS (96+) Mico also makes a dual channel cable activated pump

 

i just realised you had the link there. both cablelock and dual locks are there

 

meh looks too bulky heh

 

its actually tiny. i have the dual channel one

 

pics that show size??
