E-Brake

Hey i gotta question about my E brake. It sux, how can i fix it? I was told that since the car is disk brakes all around that you can't make the E brake grab any better. I thought that was pretty much BS...

I read this in a post. " Imports have Emergency brakes. Domestics have Parking Brakes. Its not meant for us to stop. Just to take the stress off the tranny when you park"

if you pull to hard on it, the bracket that holds the cable in the centre consol will jsut break, had it happen 4 times. car barely holds itself back on a slight hill and any tighter and **** will break again. gonna tear into it at work sometime and see if I can beef it up a bit to hold better

Get a hydraulic e-brake that’s what drifters use, had one on my berretta,

And the cable doesn’t usually break it’s the joiner in the back. You can get bigger assemblies to upgrade them

Or search Google for e-brake mods
