    eBay/Wish Hydros

    Hi, I see hydronic handbrakes on eBay and Wish for fairly cheap, one of the brands I noticed on wish is called Epman. I looked them up on amazon and they are like 100$ so I’m not sure if the brand is high quality or not, are these handbrakes crap or okay? I’ve seen all over online both opinions on eBay hydros, they are okay, they are terrible. I don’t know what to believe, and are they built sturdy enough where you can just replace the master cylinder with one off DriftWorks or something? Let me know your guys thoughts.

    the main thing with handbrakes is making sure they have a wilwood master cylinder, which it doesnt seem like the epman does. check out the villians handbrake, I think it's only 170 bucks and it has a wilwood master. I've been running mine for almost a year and ive had no issues

    the biggest thing on hydros is master sizing. a .75 handbrake feels terrible in an e36/e46

    I agree about the .750 master. Get a .625(5/8). I really need to swap mine out.
