This chassis-specific version of YDC Compact was developed for bolt-on installation in Toyota GT86, Toyota 86, GR86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ models
The available space inside the factory center console of these vehicles is extremely limited. By developing a dedicated mounting system and carefully positioning the handbrake and master cylinder around the original interior components, we were able to integrate a fully functional hydraulic handbrake into this confined area
The supplied chassis-specific mounting plate provides a strong and rigid bolt-on installation. The same plate is compatible with all listed models and generations. For LHD and RHD vehicles, the plate is simply flipped to position the handbrake on the appropriate side of the center console
Some trimming of the factory center-console trim is required to create an opening for the removable lever, but the center console remains installed and the handbrake can be kept almost completely hidden inside the original interior
The idea is simple: during everyday use, the handbrake remains almost completely hidden inside the center console. When needed, the removable lever can be installed in just a few moments, providing a fully functional hydraulic handbrake for drift, track or motorsport use. After driving, the lever can be removed again, making the installation much less visible inside the vehicle
The removable lever connection is strong, precise and reliable — fully suitable for the intended use of this product and supported by our lifetime warranty on the main handbrake construction

Compatibility and installation
This chassis-specific hydraulic handbrake configuration is designed for:
First generation:
Toyota GT86
Toyota 86
Scion FR-S
Subaru BRZ
Second generation:
Toyota GR86
Subaru BRZ
Compatible with both LHD and RHD vehicles
The same chassis-specific mounting plate is used for every listed model and generation. Its orientation is simply reversed for LHD or RHD installation
Cutting an opening in the factory center-console trim is required for the removable lever. The exact amount of trimming may depend on the vehicle generation, LHD or RHD configuration, transmission, center-console version and other interior components
Final fitment may also be affected by previous transmission-tunnel modifications, engine or gearbox swaps, aftermarket shifters and hydraulic line routing. Additional fitting may be required for non-standard or heavily modified vehicles
