Any chance someone could post a few pics of how you routed the cables to the callipers ?? I've been looking at the bottom of my car for hours and I'm a bit stumped on how I'm going to run these cables

Thanks

I don't have pics handy, but I could take some. I think a lot of it is going to depend on the type of caliper, and where they route off of them. Mine are GM calipers and are pulling in a downward direction, so my cables route under the springs/axle and then up. I poked through the trunk floor tight to the inner wheel house.

Try not to over think it. I was doing that for a while on where to mount this unit, and for the cables. I walked away for a while. When I came back it just hit me where to mount this unit and the cables.

Dontlifttoshift,

Great mounting idea. I went to duplicate your installation but have a problem and before I call EStopp I thought i'd ask here. The unit I received has a much shorter cable than what is pictured in your installation and certainly not long enough to make the 180 turn back. Did you modify the unit or did it come with a longer cable? Pic below is what I have.

I did not modify mine at all, that is the cable that came with it.

Maybe there was a production change? Let us know what you hear back from Estopp.

mklinger, Did you ever find out about the different length cable on the E-STOPP?

[dontlifttoshift]

They all have the short cable now. I didn't ask if they could still build with the long cable.

Here is my set up.

Just finished the installation, it's a pretty nice piece. I used Lokar cables, they are also pretty sweet. Smooth inner liner makes for a slick cable pull even with some pretty tight bends.

This will all be covered with the center console and the rear deck area. EStopp is a little loud to be mounted inside but since this will all be covered with the center console and rear deck, most of the sound should be mitigated. The button is pretty nice and overall a pretty clean set up.

Mounted it on some 16gauge with the nuts welded underneath.

If you buy the Lokar cables, you won't need the EStopp splitter (the machined Al block) as the Lokar kit comes with a pretty nice splitter. The Lokar set up is actually a little tidier.

Nice! Which dimple die tool are you using?
