SMY E-Brake Replacement Button Black 08-26 WRX / 08-21 STI / 13-21 BRZ / FRS / 86 | Anodized Aluminum | Interior Upgrade
Overview
The SMY E-Brake Replacement Button is a straightforward yet impactful upgrade designed to replace the standard chrome OEM button on your Subaru WRX, STI, BRZ, and related platforms. Crafted from anodized black aluminum, this button adds a subtle but purposeful aesthetic enhancement to your parking brake lever. For BRZ and similar models, it doubles as a drift button, allowing enthusiasts to engage the e-brake more effectively during spirited driving or closed circuit racing.
Engineered with simplicity and functionality in mind, the SMY button offers a direct bolt-on replacement that maintains OEM fitment while providing a more durable and visually appealing finish. Its anodized black surface resists wear and corrosion, ensuring it remains a clean, OEM+ style upgrade that complements the interior without overpowering it.
Beyond aesthetics, this replacement button supports performance driving techniques. By removing the OEM spring in the parking brake lever, the button enables the lever to return automatically without locking, facilitating controlled drifts and slides on track or closed courses. This feature highlights the button’s dual role as both a style and functional upgrade tailored to Subaru enthusiasts who value both form and function.
