Big Brake - E Brake issues

I was talking to a Stoptech dealer today who told me if I install Stoptech Big Brake on the rear wheels I'll lose the use of my e-brake. Is this true?

Yes, that is true, their rear kit is a "race only" kit - read "no e-brake"...

I see there's no room for error on this site... must be b/c everyone's a Super Genius or something...

Anyways... how do you sit idle without the car rolling away? Oh wait lemme guess... I get a duck... and when I get out he can just sit with his foot on the brake... damn u boys are smart...
