i just dont want to run a cable setup at all if i can help it and really want hydraulic rear brakes.jeep97tj wrote:I gather u dont like the look of the standard cutting brake levers because other than looks there is no difference between the 2???
i was going to run a standard cable handbrake and then cut in levers as well.... but decided i wanted to run only one setup not 2 and i figured that a standard cable handbrake would stop the car sure but wouldnt have the hold to keep it still when digging.... so asking if this hydraulic handbrake would be a goer....
cut in brake levers cant be used as a hand brake unless ya make up some sort of ratchet lock for them..... thats y i like this setup as it can be used as a stock locking handbrake as well as rear cut ins....

looks like an expensive cutting brake set up 
We've got (at the moment) a cable setup on the back of the Rodent as cutting brakes. They barely work. Was worth a try as the calipers we used had provisions there already.
Have a look at the Racer Imports website much cheaper than the setup you're looking at on ebay.
Or talk to Haultech about their pnumatic over hydraulic cutting brakes if you don't want levers.

I dont think thoses handels lock either, they just look like the standard park brake, u dont want the handel locking on when your drifting or rallying which is what thoses are made for.
U know about the electric soloindes u can use for a park brake?? U just push your foot on the brake flick the switch and take your foot off, holds the pressure in the lines. U could but 2 in so both the front and rear brakes lock up for parking brakes and then just use the run of the mill hand levers for your cutting brakes?
