I think the DIY moderator Jason has some experience with those types of setups.

BBK

Are the calipers two-piece or a forged monoblock design?
How much do the BBK front's weight and rear weight.
Did you increase the size of the e-brake pads now that you have increased the braking torque?

E brake pads are stock (drum) thought about putting a more aggressive pad (for the ebrake drum only) .. but I just don't think that a cable system will fulfill my long term needs.

I PM'd the DIY + Marketplace mod "JasonZ-YA" as I think he has experience with hydraulic e-brakes. Hopefully he is able to get you some info.

Someone ban this tool. troll post in an old thread.

P.S. No one cares how cheap you got your 350z, go back to your 240 or honda if you want cheap parts.
