Default Line Lock Advise

Hi I'm looking to fit a line lock to my '94 LT1 auto and would really appreciate some opinions and experiences of others in regards to which makes work well, which don't.

Reason for asking is I'm over in the UK and don't want to go to all the hassle of shipping one in to find out it's a dud part.

Thanks

I'm running a Jegs line-lock on my 94, and haven't had a problem in three years.

My install didn't have anything to do with the ABS system. Put the line-lock right under the master cylinder.

Using a line-lock you can lock the front brakes and let the rear wheels spin freely.

Take a look at this site:

Whether you buy their kit, or do it yourself ... don't do a tacky underhood installation ... make a totally hidden installation in the rear ABS compartment.
