Harshil,

Our Cartek line lock is a pre-bent kit that bolts right in. We have them in stock ready to go.

Build your own for less than $70 in parts. $100 if you don't have tools.

That's what I've got. Pre-bent lines made it real easy. Great kit.

It locks your lines.

Really, it locks your front brakes temporarily and helps get off the line a little quicker. Mostly used in drag racing by 6 spd guys and keeps you from accidently rolling through the staging lights.

I was thinking about a line lock to control rolling backwards on a hill from a stop light...when everyone wants to be right on your tail.
I was thinking of using an oem fog light/trunk switch panel like this with the fog light as the line lock switch. A little denatured alcohol would remove the icon easily...
