View Full Version : can any vendors setup a group buy for the E-STOPP parking brake?

I contacted E-STOPP (https://www.estopp.com/) and they don't do direct group buys, but said if one of their vendors offered one they may have a potential cost savings...
I'd like to not install my manual hand-brake (heresy?) if possible but also save a few bucks on the rather pricey E-STOPP setup too!

MOD EDIT (see below):

1. are any vendors selling this?
2. if so, would you be interested in doing a group buy?

Toadster, you're stepping on some rules here, I'm sure unintentionally.

I'm posting this as a clarification of our rules, in case anyone is wondering: Group buys on this site are through vendors ONLY. The Kosher way to go about this is to find a vendor first, or post looking for a vendor who sells this product. Then contact the vendor to see if they want to do a group buy. If they are interested, THEN have them post (or you post with their permission) a thread looking for interested folks to join in a group buy.

EDIT: Rather than lose this thread Toadster, I'm editing your post so you can still continue your quest, but in the proper way.

Thanks David for the reminder, I figured this may be easier than reaching out to each vendor individually - you can remove if needed.

I really don't want to stop you from your research. Heck I might even get in on it! (My trans-top ebrake is no bueno)

Thanks for understanding.

Sorry, I don't get it. You just asked about spending an extra $3000 for a Gen3 Aluminator, but you want a group buy to save $20 on electric brake? I really am confused about the thought process :confused:

LOL I asked if it was worth it - and depending on usage, yes! Rich you are always good for a good ribbing!

Not to change the subject, but have you seen the Wilwood (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-140-15979-bk) electronic parking brake? I haven’t researched it to see if it fits ours but it looks promising.

yes but at $1,100 it's 2x the price of the ESTOPP, sure there are no cables - but dang that's spendy for sitting still! I still shake my head thinking of a $500 parking brake!

Yeah, me too, especially considering that a couple of 20 dollar cables and the handle FFR sent you will do the job.

Totally agree, but mine will neither hold the car on a hill, nor release completely on the right side rear. Any suggestions?

well, I'm not wanting a visible parking brake handle, so it costs...

plus, if I can benefit anyone else wanting this setup - why not ask :)

Well then it’s your $500 decision... It’s kind of like when one of my wife’s clients was constantly griping about her husband; Nancy finally told her “Well, you picked him” ;)

LOL at giving someone a hard time over an "unnecessary expense". Building one of these cars is one giant unnecessary expense.

Ha! May or may not have spit my beer out on that one (I’ll neither confirm nor deny while working from home.)

The truth hurts!
