    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (syco86 @ Mar 31 2008, 12:34 PM) </div>illegal in street cars law says u need at least one mechanical break in the car

    umm theres not much point if ur running a drum rear end as the standard handbreak will do but it does make more of a difference on disks as they don't lock as well as drums

    Pointless and dangerous unless you have a rally car or track only drift car.

    They do not hold pressure over time and are not meant for parking, only for 'competition' driving.

    Try using it as a park brake on your road car, and after a while as the pressure falls away, the car will roll off down the street.

    And I speak from experience........

    and you can also have both hand brakes, use the standard one for parking. and have the hydraulic one next to it for drifting
