whats the best line lock Who makes the best line lock? Is the slp line lock kit a good one, in the picture they show on slp.com it looks like the line lock has a toggle switch not a push button? Anyone using the slp line lock?

Get the one from SJM. Its more track legal and safer for the street. I got the SLP one and its overpriced for what you get. The install is easy but instructions sux.

used SLP'S unit
Ithink if you gravity bleed the line as I, will save you time and problems
I have no air problems ,press brake, set switch and you will not move a inch
come see them smoke

LINE LOCK INFO
IS hole behind pcm , but i drill hole beside steering colum also ( drill from inside out ) put a peace of rubber hose in hole ran wire inside hose, then use same type wire wrap as GM,tie wrap to the big rubber hose comming over master cyl
I also mounted switch in ash tray
using last 7 years
my .02
PS ::Connect brake line to master cyl and line lock ,the second line which goes to ABS block start it but leave it loose,remove cap from master cyl and let the lines grivity bleed watch the loose connection untill all air is out and run pure fluid ( may shake the line a little to help bleed ( REMBER BRAKE FLUID WILL RENOVE PAINT
I placed plastic sheet over fender)if does not gravity bleed blow into master cyl and have some one watch for fluid at ABS block >>>THIS way you do not have to bleed the brakes from under car- I had no problem of any kind
also the picture from SLP is UPSIDE DOWN install with the wire connection UP
Sorry for the long post, hope it helps

Thanks for the recognition guys!
Our kits are complete. We offer a choice in solenoids as well as line configuration. Our wiring kit is engineered well with saftey features. Each kit comes with two switches and remote mount LED indicator (one switch is a master power switch; the other is the control momentary switch). Other misc. electrical connections are included.
All lines are pre-formed. Every fitting which uses thread sealant is preassembled; Teflon tape etc is not needed. We even include a grommet for the firewall.
Kits are always in stock typically shipping within 24 business hours.

2) They are safer, accidental deployment cannot occur...leading to longer expectancy life of solenoid.
3) You know when our circuit is live due to the remote mount LED feedback.
4) Our kits are track legal.
5) There is no assembly or need of thread sealant on the fittings.
6) Kits are complete kit without having the need to re-purchase additional components.
7) Our customer support, in my opinion, is superior (biased opinion of course)
Superslow is referring to our two line configured kits. One is slightly easier to install due to solenoid location (top mount). The other kit has a stealth appearance since the solenoid is more hidden. We've produced these for the F-body years before SLP decided to sell them. Apparently they liked our front mount line configuration. Location and line configuration is where the similarity ends.

Does the SJM kit come with the quick release button you put on the shifter? Or do you have to buy it separate?
