Brake Pad for Dual Caliper Hydro e Brake
Fellow Drifters, what brake pads are you using for your dual caliper hydro e brake setup?
I'm currently running OEM BRZ rear brake calipers on my dual calipers. Thanks! |

My guess - whichever cheapest.
Rationale being - unlike main brakes & their pads, ebrake doesn't partially drag, just quickly completely locking up, even if you do it often like in eg. drifting. No drag, just "on"/"off" -> no extra heat > no extra requirements for "dusting"/"noise"/"modulation", so imho just about any pad should be usable. I don't have dual caliper ebrake, but if i'd had, i probably would choose going by line of thoughts as above. |

Thanks Church,
Did some digging and found that some Formula D drifters use EBC Yellowstuff. Ordered some and hopefully they bite better than what i already have. |

I have been using stocks pads, and they lock it up fine. Maybe you could use a longer handle for more leverage.

you did put the calipers on reverse? For example, the hydro caliper on the drivers side should originally have been a passenger side caliper from the factory. Otherwise your bleed screw will be to low and won't bleed right, which could cause it to feel bad.

Nice, I definitely didn't make that mistake (lol) when I first installed it. The shut off valve is a really good idea though! I use the PBM hand brake and it has a little screw you can twist in to hold the lever for a parking brake, but your setup is pretty slick.

I'd probably just keep stock parking brake with drums in parallel to hydro ebrake, daily driving usage wise. I wouldn't have much trust in hydro ebrake keeping pressure on parked for days/weeks car on incline. One thing are short pulls during drifting, other functioning for parking.
Of course, reminding that i never had hydro ebrake setup so those are just my guesses/thoughts. |

UPDATE!
Finally got my hydro working Here's some steps for anyone that was lost like me 1. Make sure your Calipers are bleeder side up 2. Tighten all connections and verify no leaks 3. Bleed the brakes till your arm literally falls apart into pieces Easy Peasy |
