I have a SJM line lock that's waiting to be installed. I've heard nothing but good things and you can't beat the price.

Couldn't really tell you yet I've got the SJM but it's not completely hooked up. Although I hear great things about it.

might wanna consider new brakes too since you've worn down the current ones.

I've have the SJM hurst linelock and couldn't be happier. Have had it for over a year with no problems. I went with the hurst upgrade purly for looks over the standard line lock.

once i have some more money i'll be gettting the SJM as well, i've heard of the SLP ones crapping out and loosing their holding (Like they cut out and let the car roll forward) alot of people here like the SJM brand over anything

Mine is an SLP. No problems. All it needs to be able to do is lock the front brakes.

I've ehard great things about the SLP kit as well. That's probably the one I'm going to go with.

I have had the SLP kit on my car for about a year now, and I have not had one single problem with it. I bought it used too, for 50 bucks. The only thing I had to do with it when I got it, was extend the wires on it.

if you go racing, sadly, the SLP from what I've read in the brakes/suspension forum, is that it's not NHRA legal (I believe its something to do with the wiring and switching more than the unit itself) and like was also mentioned, also prone to failure sooner.

Not sure about that, you are the first person I have heard say that. If so, I dont race much at all.
