Default Pics of staging brake setups

Im thinking about a staging brake for next year so I would like to see how everyone is setting theirs up. Also, would a staging brake be ok for street driving? I drive my car alot on the street so I just want to know your opinions on it. Thanks guys

99% of people just use the ebrake, probably not a lot of pictures available.

Yeah thats what I have been using but it doesnt hold for ****. Ive replaced the pads and rotors and everytime I go to the track after 3 passes I can pull it up so its vertical. I adjust before i go to the track. I just get tired of having to pull my center console out everytime I run the car. I used to daily drive it but I realized how much its wearing the motor out 4 months after i built it. So it will see the street on the weekends only.

Sounds a bit like the cables are stretching? How far along on the adjustment are you?
