NAVY, I've got that Wilwood kit in mine, the "parking" or "emergency" brake is basically worthless! It won't hold the car on a hill and even if it's "on / engaged".. you can drive right over it without knowing it. I've done it a couple times so now I don't bother setting it.

I even added short pieces of metal to increase the leverage and it isn't much better.
