[QUOTE=Halfcent]Perhaps you would like to share with the class what a line lock is?
OK CLASS SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! lol just kidding
Line lock is actually used to lock up the brakes for dragsters so they can warm up the tires before a launch. install the line lock button on your steering wheel and hold it while on the gas. It will keep the brakes in FULL LOCK on the rear or front (rear for us FWD guys) when you release the button off you go. If you have ever seen a pro stock car power brake more times than not they have line lock to the front brakes. It would help the front brakes out a ton and its just a release to go to normal!

Yea it may be cheaper but it doesnt stress out everything as much it just shuts down the master cylinder and puts pressure on the system and holds it there. but your ebrake does the same just justnt release as quick and you have to move it when line lock you just release the button. IMHO
