I've read reviews where this E-Stopp engages while the car is driving. It's been said in many forums. Uhhh, that's not good.

That is likely because they didn’t connect the ignition lockout which keeps it from engaging when the car is running.

Could you post some links because I can’t find anything on this regarding E-Stopp specifically.

This device will not engage while the engine is running? I'd like it to do that, so I can leave the car parked in neutral while running.

There is a wire that you connect to ignition power to prevent it from engaging when running. You are free to omit that connection...

Gotcha. Wonder if it's just operator error causing it to engage while driving.

I never hook up that wire. Not being able to use the park brake in autox grid is dumb.

The unit engages so slowly that even if you bumped the switch on accident it would be 5 seconds before it made a full pull.......at that point the little tiny brake shoes would probably disappear.

It would be cool if companies started to integrate an electric parking brake in to the caliper itself like some OEMs are now doing.

I agree, that is a better solution. Wilwood has this which is part way there. https://wilwood.com/Calipers/Caliper...arking%20Brake

I agree Donny, it's a start. I'd prefer to have it all in one caliper. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I emailed Baer a few weeks ago on this and they said "it's being discussed"

We'll just have to wait and see I guess. Maybe by the time I actually need brakes, they'll be available! :lol:
