Ksport Hydraulic Handbrake

INSANE PRICES!!! YOU MUST PM US OR CALL US TO GET THESE SICK DEALS!!!

The Ksport high quality Hydraulic Handbrake is a necessity for any drift or rally vehicle.
The lever can be used in either a normal or upright position by simply changing the handle position by undoing one bolt.
The handbrake is available with either a 3/4” or 5/8” reservoir.
Drifting and rally driving requires extensive use of the handbrake, and eliminates the weaknesses in standard cable type handbrakes.
This hydraulic handbrake requires a lot less force to lock the rear brakes when desired.
INSTALL KITS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

Here are some question that keep arising that I figured I will answer right here:

1. Is there an installation guide? This has mostly to do with the installation kit...how the whole thing gets intercepted and all.

The kit comes with and installation guide, pretty basic but explains it. All the kit is doing is interrupting the stock system. Kind of like a bypass valve.

2. Can you still use your stock ebrake?

Yes and no...if the car is cable driven then yes if its oil line then no.
also if you have an after market big brake kit...then most of the time no.

3. Can you take out the stock ebrake and be able to replace it with the Ksport permanently? (meaning does the Ksport act as a regular ebrake too...if say parked on a hill?

Yes it will act like a regular ebrake.

4. Pros and cons of resevoir sizes? Do they matter?

5/8 is typically for oem brake setups and 3/4 is for a more upgraded like big brake for example. If for example you get a 3/4 for a oem setup it will feel sluggish before the brake engages because there is a lot more fluid flowing. And vice versa if you get a 5/8 on a big brake rear it will not engage properly and could possibly damage the reservoir because to much oil is being force through a smaller reservoir.
