Default EM1 5 Lug Conversion........Now NO E-BRAKE

Just did my 5lug on my EM1, upon doing it i started to notice alot of the parts between my car and the USDM Type R set up were alot alike. I swapped out everything BUT the two rear parking brake cables. I now have ZERO ebrake, is their a huge difference between the EM1 and the USDM calbes that would cause that big of a problem ya think? I have both rear ITR cables but with a 3" beating you in the face i kind of wanted to avoid moving all that around to release the cables from within the car

Any input would be greatly appreciated!! The car is still on the lift, i blew a caliper and had to overnight one for tomorrow

Mike

Why don't you hook up your EM1 parking cable on to the brake.

already done......everythings attatched and everything. Was going a good 70mph with the ebrake up, so i dont have much tension there lol

its funny too b/c if i have someone underneath looking at the spring for the cable it moves as i engaged the parking brake. I dunno honestly
