Default e-brake

my e-brake isn't working out too well for drift purposes. i can't lock up the rears.. is there a different option than the drum e-brakes? this is for a drift sc300 btw..

Have you checked the entire e-brake system to make sure everything is nice and sound?

1. You need to adjust your brake shoes a lot if you drift a lot.
2. You should replace the stock e-brake shoes with a drift compound shoe because the stock pads arent made for what your using them for and they wear out fast.
3. You can install a Hydro brake connected to your rear pads.
