E-Brake Does not work after bigger brakes install. Help Hi everyone, I just bought A (07 CTS-V) and the guy I bought from bought bigger aftermarket disc brakes. So, the E-Brake doesn't work at all. He said it happen after the bigger brake install. Any thoughts on what went wrong or maybe something got screwed up. Its not a really big deal as I leave it in gear but would like to fix it. Any thoughts/ideas?
Thanks, Evo
Thanks, Evo

And did you even read the thread? He said there's non-OEM parts on the car... good luck getting a dealer to work with you.
People post on these forums for actual answers of actual experience, not to be told to go to your dealer.

I want to see these "bigger brakes"...I am not getting enough stoppage on my daily drive to work and looking to upgrade.
I can only stop in enough time when only 6 inches from the car in front of me when he slams on his brakes doing 70 mph...would like to cut it down to 3 inches from his rear bumper if I could. And I want to be able to do this at least a dozen times in a row on my way home.

My guess is that the Parking brake needs to be tightened in the rear hubs... I imagine the guy you bought it from was a noob, and used that excuse because he didn't know what the real issue was. Search before you post.... "Tightening Parking Brake"

Guys,
The guy I bought the car from said he took it to the dealer and they said that they will not check it unless it has stock rotors. I have NOT measured them so I'm just going with what the guy told me. Like I said its not really a big deal but I was just wondering if someone on here has had this problem. But never in mind did I think I would get a bunch of BS answers.
Disregard this post and Delete it. Thanks for the help.
