I bought the E-Brake setup and did a search, didn't find any installation instructions. This is for the drivers side and the e-brake caliper brackets are side specific. Passenger side is essentially the same. So here it goes:

0. Remove the center console box (Compartment where the phone would be located) and look underneath. You will see the cable attached to the parking brake handle and a silver adjustment nut. Loosen the adjustment all the way to make it easier to attach the cable to the E brake calipers.

1 Jack up the car and remove the wheel

2. Remove the brake caliper and rotor. Disconnect the parking brake cable (probably already loose since you have an aftermarket rear brake caliper)
It should look like this.

3. Test fit the Ebrake caliper bracket and you will notice 3 bolts in the hub carrier. Remove the 3 bolts and then you the 3 allen head bolts that came with the kit and holt on the caliper bracket.

4. Put the rotor back onto the hub and slide the Ebrake caliper over the rotor and bolt it to the caliper bracket. You then need to connect the hand brake cable to the E-Brake caliper. It will look like this.

5. Put the rear brake caliper back on

6. Wheel back on

7. Do the other side

8. Go back and readjust the parking brake cable until you have adequate tension and grip

9. Put the interior back together.

Hope this helps. By the way, quite a few people are only doing 1 side.

Will just doing one side work?
 
Will just doing one side work?

Quite a few people have purchased the set ($1000) and then just used one side. I had purchased a single side from one member but found a used set which I bought. I put on the used set because I have to park on a fairly steep hill so I wanted both calipers just in case. I tried one side first and it worked pretty well but then put on the passenger side because I had it.
