So I'm going to run your kit with the linelock also. Where do the lines run off the master? Is it easier to cut and use some of the stock lines or just completely run new lines for the whole car? This car is getting completely redone and is a track car but it will go to a lot of car shows and I want it clean and simple. Your kit also does not use a proportioning valve?

clean and simple, run your own lines, IMO.
you stock flex lines are not on the k member. they will be body mounted and go to the calipers.

For a clean look run new lines. For the Pass front run it under the rad support and noone will see it. That also helps in engine and k member removal.

Looks good TJ! Dan told me about your setup. Burkhart already told me they wouldn't sell me just the adapter plate though.

Thats so gay if so! They sold TJ one. Guess they dont want our money. I know other places to get bracket its a little more $, but worth it with the money you save from not doing the kit. When i do mine im going to do a in detail write up

and how much everything was.

i just bought one from them for 60 bucks back in april?
prolly not cost effective, or maybe they dont have any spares at the moment. did you get a detailed answer, or just a no?
trz motorsports also offers the brace. i would have went with it, but i gave burkhart the call and they had a cheaper price.

i wasnt piecing it together to save money, i went with what i felt would work best for my needs.
several guys in the area (non f body) always had issues with the strange master.
not to long ago, a buddy of mine had an issue with a aerospace model.
i put off doing manual brakes for YEARS due to fear of not being able to stop, hard pedal, etc.
i love them. you get the right combo, and its cake.
good luck on your setup.

I don't want to bash Burkhart or nothing like that. I have Burkhart parts on my car and they are awesome quality. I'm sure they have their own reasons. I was just trying to save a little coin. I was just going to go with the Burkhart kit anyways. I heard Midwest has a kit but there is no info about it on their website?
