IRP Reverse Hydraulic Handbrake #4

IRP Hydraulic Handbrake #4

When drifting, OE cable handbrakes quickly reach their limit, especially as speeds increase and if your vehicle has larger tyres. A hydraulic handbrake is the effective, long term solution !

This handbrake had an inverted design : if you install it the "classic" way, you will need to push the handle in order to brake, instead of pulling the handle (see photo). This particular design allows to reverse your installation, so that the master cylinder will end up being at the front of the handbrake, not behind as usual. This design is recommended in narrow interiors, where installing standard hydraulic handbrake can be difficult. It allows you, for example, to place the master cylinder under the dashboard.

This handbrake giving you the ergonomics required. To be used in vertical position only, it provides power and reliability for your rear brake calipers

For quick, easy and safe mounting, select the optional hose kit above!

With the above hose kit, fitment will be direct on the vast majority of cars used for drifting (Nissan S13, S14, S15, Skyline, BMW E30, E36, AE86...). The hoses provided simply replace your stock rear brake line, and add the handbrake assembly into the middle. They connect at the front to the master cylinder/ABS unit and into the rear caliper T-piece at the rear of the car. See the picture below for a diagram.
