Just did a search and didn't come up with anything.. so...



What's linelock?
A line lock, or roll control is a electric solenoid that is plumbed into the front brake line system. To use it you press on the brake pedal and energize the system, when energized (switch Vosko has on his shifter) the solenoid in the the front brake lines closes keeping the brake pressure on the front rotors. This allows the brake pedal to be released and allows the drivetrain to spin without the car moving forward (large smokey burnouts and huge tire bills follow) when the switch is released the brake pressure goes back into the system as normal and braking is not affected. Hope this is clear as mud now...

I was undecided about getting a line lock. But after that vid it's a must have. Just need to finish the other projects.

NICE! I just ordered the Line Lock from Summit racing. I noticed there are 2 lines for the front brakes and one for the rear. Does this mean you need 2 solenoids, one for each front brake line?



A write up on the line lock install would be gold!

turbovr6 posted the faq but basically gotta use a "T" for that you can see it in the pic. then get to convert from metric to standard lines and fittings. that was the really fun part......... plan atleast a few days of down time for a line lock install. that is just for the brake lines and stuff.... i also chose to do ss brake lines, speed bleeders, brake master and other stuff while everything again thanks to judge ito and turbovr6 for the help
