Default DO I or DONT I get a line lock kit?

So this car will be on the street 90% of the time and will have the koni/strano setup for suspension with vette wheels/street tires. I purchased a Currie 9" rear end with 35 spline axles and there is no abs on it. My question is do I deal with the head ache trying to get abs to work? or should I remove it and go with the line lock setup? I'm really leaning towards getting the line lock setup with proportioning valve. Reason being I never locked up the wheels braking hard with the abs and don't plan on driving in any slippery conditions so I do not think I will miss the abs. Is there anyone out there that does autocross and prefers abs? Whacha guys think???

Screw ABS. ABS delete/linelock kit for the win! I love mine. Put it on and never looked back. BUT I don't autocross so can't help you there.

I like SLP's for the prebent lines, makes one hell of a clean set up if you have ABS

I would of thought there be one by now with atleast steel braided lines.

I say it is worth it imo, wont fry the rear brakes as fast.

I used the thunder racing kit and it was a super clean install and used a Hurst solenoid that n mounts of the front side of the shock tower, it also retains abs I ordered it like 2 years ago, but I've heard of a lot of people having problems with thunder racing so I don't know if you want to risk it.
