Best Hydraulic E brake for ct9a?

Are there any specific to the evo 7-9 that would work well with the stock interior?

What's the need for a hydraulic brake? My parking brake didn't hold much new from the showroom. Last summer I installed new rotors and as part of the process, adjusted the parking brake shoes. Now, they lock when applied.

Looks like you can't use hydraulics as a parking brake. Was told there was some kind of adapter you can put onto the stock mechanical e brake where it keeps the buttton pushed down until you manually unlock it so it only rachets and locks then. No idea what this contraption is called tho.

I have the STM kit and I have used it as a parking brake from time to time but it likes to lock up my rear wheels momentarily when I do because it taps the staging brake in threw the rear brakes. It makes bleeding the rear brakes kind of a pain as well since there you to engage and release the e-brake handle while you are pumping the brake pedal. I also you have to delete the abs to use the kit as well. I also do like that there isn't a bleeder valve on the hydraulic cylinder either and the kit has to be modified to use the stock e-brake handle. It is not pre-cut from stm when you purchase it.

You can use a line lock as a hydraulic parking brake.

Your using it for drag racing only correct They clearly say it's not meant for road racing.
