It will work quite well if the ebrake cable is adjusted properly.
A lot of time its too loose.  I found this the case with my B14.
My NX will lock the brakes up using the e-brake if you pull
up real hard.  The B14 wouldn't until I tightened the cable up.
In fact when I put Metal Masters out back thats how I bed them in.
Pull the ebrake.  They work pretty good.  Not as good as the
fronts but its something.
