Default Line Lock for C5....Anybody install?

I want to install a line lock set-up on my car for drag racing. Has anyone bought or made a kit that works good? Any ideas on where to buy would be great?

HERE is how I did my Hurst install. Takes a bit of work but the end result is a very nice clean install. If you want a bolt on kit Cartek makes a nice kit but it is not on their website. I think their kit is $200-$250.

Our Cartek line lock kit is a very easy kit to install.

All the brake lines are pre bent to fit your specific model and bolts right in.

The kit costs $249.95 plus shipping and are in stock.

Spoke to Max via e-mail about this. They do offer a complete kit not yet shown on their website. They will update to show it eventually.

Cartek has a nice kit. Here is a writeup I did a while back. My console has been transformed since then.

I went with the Cartek kit and it was a great mod to have. It was easy to install and works awesome. This website from Cajundude is a great install writeup.
