here it is... this is the picture i have so far until i take my rear wheel off and snap some pics of mine.
What you do is install a SS spring (person in this picture used a non SS which will rust and break in half of the time.)
install the spring between the rear disc brake caliper ebrake lever, and the brake line tab on the strut.
as shown in the picture... completely changes the feel of the emergency brake and has twice the return pull for the ebrake lever itself. this in turn will prevent your ebrake levers from sticking and eventually siezeing over time. the number one reason you have to replace the rear calipers.
here are 2 pics... one plain and one with inverted colors to show where to drill into the rear disc caliper lever. and where to drill into the brake line tab.
being as these are both pretty thick metals you don't have to worry about them breaking unless you drill the hole too close. (very hard to **** this up)
i found it easiest to do seperately with the brake line tab then the ebrake lever...
keep in mind i did this while i had a whole rear suspension setup sitting in my basement. so under the car may be harder.
only downfall is it makes it harder to change out rear brake pads... you don't need to change them often anyhow. if the spring breaks its an easy replacement at the local hardware store.
now for the pics.
Oh and for any doubters out there... this was a picture taken off of a rally BG car... It does work and it has no negative effects on the braking.
