To put load on the driveline before launching (mostly AWD turbo guys do this).

Or, mad drifting yo! Hopefully I am thinking of the same thing. haha

I think youre talking about linelock. that actually locks the FRONT tires, nto the back. The E-brake locks the back. IIRC, the linelock is actually just a switch that holds presure for the front brakes.

no i do not want to linelock my car!
i need a handbrake that is easy to lock up the REAR wheels. my oem cable one is ok sometimes but i need to yank the SH*t out of it to work.

a hydraulic one will be effortless and much more efective!!!!

ksport has one but it look very ricey
