change your pads, or you might have a stressed e-brake cable

If its tight, then your cable should be fine. But your pads just suck.

Hydraulic handbrakes work pretty well!!!

To keep this going, has anyone personally used the available hydraulic hand brakes out there? is there really any noticeable difference between a CNC unit and the PBM brake with spherical end links and the beefier box? Im going to have to make a mount for both so thats not a big deal, but only ever felt a CNC one with the car parked and have never seen a PBM one in person. Also, what about K-Sport?? Im all for the wilwood cylinder on the PBM unit, probably worth the extra money for sure.

PBM, $220:

CNC, $130:
