Can anyone tell me if the FFR E-Brake and cables are designed to work with the Wilwood rear brakes that FFR sells? Are the cables the correct length? Is it just me or does the aluminum seem to be super close to the handle when moving it up and down? Thanks for any tips.

If I'm understanding you correctly, your wondering if the e-brake system that comes with the complete kit from FF works with the brakes that come with the kit. Since that is the route I went as well, I can tell you that they do work. I did find it to be a bit of a tight fit, and the whole system seemed a bit wonky to me. I made a few modifications to hopefully stop the cables rubbing on the frame, and enclosed the back of the ebrake cut out to keep water from coming through the tunnel into the car. The handle does sit very close to the tunnel as well, but it works. I generally leave the car in gear when parked, so the parking brake doesn't get used that much. (One hint I've heard also is to make sure to fully engage the lever before pulling it so as to not strip the gears. Apparently the braking handle gear is not the most robust and the teeth will wear down over time)
