Default Line lockup front brakes??

I would like to look into some kind of line lockup for my front brakes for the track so I can heat my tires and not look like a dip infront of everyone poping the clutch and grabbing the brake...just would make it easier I guess. How much for a kit and where can I get one? Thanks

Yeah, I bought the hurst roll control for mine. You will need some additional lines and fittings that the line kit doesn't include.

If you know your brake lines and common stuff it is pretty easy, bc im not as good of a mechanic as most ppl on here and it was easy for me.

mine is a push button with a coiled line on the shifter that you press when you want it to disengage.

The hardest part is getting the right adaptors and what not. After that, it's just a lil time consuming.

How does it look under the hood...the hurst kit.. I looks nice in the summit book. Is it big? Where do you mount it? Pictures? I kind of want to keep my under hood clean looking. Thanks, sorry about all the questions.

LOL! Well since there is NO more room under my hood, I mounted it under the car where the left sice control arm is. Next time I take it to work I'll take some pics for ya from underneath.
