Hydro E-Brake Talk

So I'm interested in getting a hydraulic ebrake set up for my car and I couldn't find any review threads about any of the options out there.

My goal for this thread is for people to post up what they have, how the install process was, and how it works.

I suppose I'll start with a list of what I know is out there, what they cost, and what they come with.

Powered By MAX Hydraulic Hand Brake:

There's the original and compact version.

Small:


Original:



They both use a quality Wilwood cylinder, and have an optional stainless line kit (for an additional fee).



Straight from their site:
Quote:
Detailed fittings arrangement for the optional Earl's kit:

Male M10 to -3 male goes to the OEM master's rear brake output and -3 steel braided line (which connects to the inlet on the end of the wilwood cylinder)

Female m10 to -3 male goes to the oem brake line that you took out of the OEM master and -3 steel braided line (which connects to the outlet on the top of the wilwood cylinder)

-3 male to 7/16-20 male goes to the larger fitting in the wilwood cylinder and -4 aluminum crush washer seals the connection

-3 male to 3/8-24 male goes to the smaller wilwood cylinder fitting and -3 aluminum crush washer seals the connection

90 degree fittings both attach to the -3 side of the two above fittings and the other end to the braided lines.
Price: $220 for handbrake alone + $120 for stainless line set up, so $340 total.



K Sport Hydraulic E-Brake:

I don't know much about this. Here's what it looks like, looks like it has a feature to use it like a regular parking brake.



Price: $185-190ish, including two 24" stainless lines that you'll have to integrate into your brake system....which I assume are fairly worthless.


Godspeed Hydraulic E-Brake:

I know less about this then the K Sport one, haha. It looks like every other random one I've found by typing 'hydro ebrake' in google. It looks similar to the K Sport one. They just offer different colored handles.





Price:$160 w/o lines



Everything else looks like more of the same. The PBM one appears to be the best one to me, but from pictures I've noticed a lot of the K Sport units in Formula D cars. I assume they change out the master cylinder - but maybe not?

Like I said at the beginning. I want to hear from people with experience with any of these items. If there are review threads somewhere online post up the links, as I didn't see them.

OR if anyone has any custom set ups they've made, I've be interested in seeing those and hearing and tips on that.
