Aftermarket E-Brake

I was searching around and I couldn't find anything about this. I'm not talking about just the E-Brake handle, I was wondering if anybody actually made a more powerful aftermarket E-Brake? Maybe even one that wasn't a cable? Moreover, has anybody done this on a custom basis? Truly, it's for nothing else but wanting a well working E-Brake, which is something I've had trouble with.

Ksport makes a hydraulic style e-brake.

take off the wheels and adjust it. there is adjustment points on both rear wheels inside the rotors and at the handle. the most common place is at the wheels. i adjusted mine and it works great. if you adjust them all the way and it still does not grab properly it my be time to replace the emergency brake shoes.

It's super easy to do this. I was pretty scared until I finally bought a jack this summer and decided to try to install new strut mounts myself with no help (old car). Got it done and took a look at the brake system and saw how easy it was and was shooting myself in the foot for having not done it on my old car.

K-sports setup looks pretty legit. It has a built in brake fluid reservoir, and looks pretty sturdy. Show us some pics if you go with it.

I can adjust them just fine and it'll work well for a day, however after that they turn to hell and I can't even use it anymore. It was the same for my last evo. Where can I find this K-Sports one? I'll do some googling.


Also: Where can I find the stock Recaro seat covers? One of my friends burned mine and he is paying to have it replaced.
