Just trying to find out if its common to remove the E brakes. I understand its not the smartest thing to do with a manual transmission but with my auto cars I never use it. Are there any drawbacks or other issues with not having one? Before anyone tells me not to remove it its too late. Its been gone. Got tired of dealing with them plus I'm eventually going to put drag brakes on the rear like I've already done to the front. I'll also add that this car is mostly for the track with very little street time. Thanks.

I deleted mine when I did a narrowed 9". Only drawback is nothing to hold/stop the car when you put it in neutral to push

I say remove it brother. might as well if your going to put drag brakes on your car. I actually have mine removed with the t56.

I deleted mine a few months ago. Ive been driving 20 years and have never once needed it for an emergency situation, and here in the south we dont have salt on the roads so no uncarriage deterioration. At that point its merely a luxury item thats not needed. If you lost a brake line you should keep braking to at least two wheels and that in combination with engine braking should stop you in 99% of situations.

Seeing how I just checked back two months later and not one person said to keep them, I'll just leave them off lol. Thanks a lot guys. I feel much better about it now knowing I'm not the only one.

Look at how clean it is behind he wheel with drag brakes and no ebrake. **** is awesome....

If you don't need them for state safety inspection....Have at it!

You guys with T56's...Don't park on a hill or steep driveway. Putting it in gear IS NOT a positive stop for your car! Unless your dong a unattended leak down test on your engine...LOL

I'm repurposing my ebrake handle as a chute lever. Never used the ebrake anyway.

Haven't had a working e-brake in 10 years. Drive my car about 3k a year in Chicago. Never needed it once.

l might be old but l always thought it was called a Parking brake cause even a stick car can roll on a hill even in gear. for what it's worth.
