I asked Ben the same question and he said that the stock e-brake is fully functional.

Yes, I actually found a problem with my e-brake during installation and fixed it as the same time. So technically, we could say that the Brembo's made my e-brake better

Lol, I'd love to put them on her car, I personally intend on putting Brembo's on every car I ever own. But here RGR's have horrible backspacing, and I would need something on the lines of a 20mm spacer to clear the brakes. This would be fine, except I've already had to trim her fenders to fit her wheels!

I am sorry for the late response. I have the 2 pice 12.9". They made a huge difference form just having the front ones. And my e-brake is fully functional too.
