Default Does the Z E-Brake grab the F or R

Does the e-brake grab the front or rear tires?
Is there a way to tighten it for drift purposes?
Also, due to recient(power over) drifting, I am now in need of a driver seat with the air bags in it, so if you have one for sale, let me know.

If I am not mistaken, ALL e-brakes grab the rear.

If you get a chance to look under the car you'll notice that one brake cable go to each of the rear brake assemblies from the handbrake.

The only cars that I know of that had the parking brake in the front are Saabs that were built in the 80's. They had the parking brake mechanisms incorporated into the front calipers. First time I've ever seen that, really wierd.

my car e brake get stuck on the rear wheels at times on the mornings. After I apply some pressure with the engine there is a crack from the rear when is released.
Is there a TSB for this problem?

All this is, is a build up or rust on the calipers that makes the break pads stick to the rotor. As you drive, the heat and pressure from the breaks will take the rust right off. I sell new cars and they all do the same. The only way that I know to prevent this is to not leave you ebrake on over night.

Actually the Z has drums brakes in the rear underneath the rotor for the parking brake. The parking brake is not incorporated into the rear calipers. But just the same, it's just the rear shoes sticking to the inside of the drum due to moisture, nothing to worry about.
