How well does a hydro handbrake work on s14 standard setup??

[Dori_Rory]

As above, before i go down the swapping route I want to know how well a hydro handbrake locks up the rear of the standard rear braking system on an s14. At the minute i feel the cable is gonna snap before itll lock up the rears so i need to find the cheapest and most useful way of doing it.

All opinions welcome

cheers

Adjust your current setup or upgrade your pads? My mechanical handbrakes were perfect in 180 and even better now in the S14A. Locks up in dry no bother

Sort out you standard one firt before you go spending money on a hydro.
It might work fine if its sorted

a hydro is only as good as the pads,, the key is in the rear pads
