line locks
I have a question for those of you who have line locks on your ZO6. Do you have any trouble with your ABS light coming on when you use your line locks, or have any issues with it? How many different types of line locks are available and which one is the better one to get? any info would be great. thanks

Abs light does com on for a few seconds but then every thing is ok. cartek is the way to go if you are in the market. good luck.

The Cartek kit is easy to install and IMO the best bet as everything is already bent to the correct angle, flaring, flanges and bolts are already done and to the correct length. Cost a bit more but well worth it.

Anymore have some instructions for installing the Hurst unit on a C5?? I put one in YEARS ago on my old '89 Stang.... pretty easy/straight forward, sure would be nice if the same could be said of a Vette install.
