Default E-Stopp reviews?

Has anyone installed E Stopp before? Its an electronic parking brake kit that uses a push button.

Interesting product, first I've seen of it.

The number of times I've been working under the dash around the foot parking brake mechanism or catch the release handle in the face trying to extract myself from an un-natural position in my Camaro makes it temping.

As soon as it functions as well as a handle brake for setting the car up entering a corner or holding brake on steep hill to save the clutch it's a winner. Until then the handle brake wins in my opinion.

You can get a factory pieces, from a CTS-v for example, that do the same thing.

The estop is a linear actuator in a box.

e-brake.......agreed. A hand-brake when used creatively can be a lot of fun.

we used one on a '66 Chevelle and LOVED IT!! easy to install, holds the vehicle great. Plays nice with Baer brakes.....but most importantly, it gets rid of that ugly stamped metal foot brake that just doesn't look right next to the Clayton Machine pedals

Don't listen to these guys. I used my ebrake constantly. It needs to be highly functional.

I need some sort of e brake since my driveway is not flat and dont want to accidentally knock it out of gear.

Chris,
Do you have pics of the install you did? Looks like I might just have to order one and try it out.
