Default Hydro E-brake for a 350Z

I am trying to install my CNC hydrolic E-brake. Does anyone know the proper/best way to install it in a 350Z? I'm worried about cutting into my brake lines with an ABS system on the car. I thought I would have one line going to the back wheels and it would split to the individual brake, but when I looked more at it I see that each brake has it's own line running all the way from the master cylinder.

How should I run my lines and what effect is it going to have on the braking system?

Here is the brake I have

Is that for drifting? I would think you would have to run a seperate system with it's own master cylinder.

Yes. But plenty of peolple use the unit without its own master cylinder. I would not want to have to mount another caliper just for the e-brake.

Athens? Is this Jason?
Sorry I cant really offer insight into the handbrake, but if the stock MC has 2 lines coming out for the rear brakes and the CNC handbrake only has 1 input you kinda have a problem. perhaps there is an adapter that can combine the 2 in and give you a 2 out also... otherwise I would see if another company makes a handbrake designed for the Z.

Edit: HA! you are Jason, I haxored your flicr
