hydro e brakes are 150 to 250 dollars - a line lock i think ranges from like 80 or 100 bucks im not too sure… but if your building a drift car and your looking at parts like a line lock or a hydro e brake, you get what you pay for, and its not like they are expensive anyway - i wouldn’t waste your time using a line lock as an e brake… a good set of hawk hp+ pads and decent rotors work well … i didn’t think they would work, until i tried them myself… no issues with locking the wheels at any speed - just IMO

Plus, pushing a button on the fly for an e brake sounds ridiculous haha, what about those situations where you are loosing your angle and a clutch kick or steering adjustment isn’t possible ? push the button ? lol located where, on the steering wheel ? it would have to be or else you would be reaching for it on the dash or somewhere way out of reach, it just sounds too difficult to me i would stick to something common and proven -
