Default Line Lock for the A4???Which one?

Hey,

Mods are coming in like you wouldnt believe :lol:
Getting ready for the track...purchased rims and drag radials and looking to get a line lock for my a4.

Who makes a complete kit and how much?
Can I install this myself or is it a hard install?
I see summit has 2...TCI and a Hurst for only about $80-100. Is this complete?
Anything else needed or should I get something else?

Thanks!!

:iagree: .......others are running the TCI unit, either should work fine, it's just a solenoid operated valve :cheers:

I have a 98 and heard that late model 98s with active handling like i have, have problems sometimes with the active handling being displayed on the DIC when engaging the line lock.

Whats the best line lock out there for a 98 A4 to avoid the above referenced problem?

Thanks,

MTI 427 Roadster

Price is about $250 complete, get the TCI Roll Stop for the A4.

I'll be going with the Cartek setup soon myself, they offer it as a complete setup without the install headaches of a generic line lock. :yesnod:
