| I'm adjusting my e-brakes on my wagons and I'm curious to see what you guys experience with your cars.
Are you able to lock the wheels with the e-brake? how far would you say your e-brake would take to stop you if you were going 35 mph?

| I would need about a mile to stop with the e-brake. | |

| It's not considered an "E" brake anymore,.
its now just a 'parking' brake. | |

| I'm not sure how long it would take to stop my wagon but, yes, I'm pretty sure it will lock the rear tires if I wanted to. I have mine adjusted to about an inch and a half before they are full on. | |

| The E brake is only for holding from rolling the car when it is on jackstands, or changing a tire. | |
