I have a couple questions about the parking brake system as ive literally never had my parking brake work, and now i have to pass a state inspection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So here we go: are the cables the same cable on the left and right side of the car? and does anyone have the gear the brake handle latches on to, the W shaped piece that balances the two cables, and the spring that retains that W piece they could sell me?

You also need to know if the parking brake on your calipers actually work. Many don’t. PMB Performance will rebuild them to new and they have all the parts and cables to make the system work.
