line lock with abs

[randy]

i know there are some articles out regarding the installation of line lock on 99-up mustangs, as i have read them. my question is this: why don't the manufacturers of these kits reccomend them for abs..PHP's kit shows 2 solenoids. I surmise this is to lock up both front wheels in lieu of just one. Would someone who has installed a linelock on one of our cars care to elaborate for me??

Joe Lynch has a web page about an install on an older Cobra, a 99 I believe. He only used one solonoid. I was thinking of sending him an e-mail to see if there is any downside to having 1 solonoid vs 2, but i haven't got around to it.

One is the way to Go ! It works just as well as two. Problem with two is if one fails while doing a burnout you will swap ends quickly and possibly take out something or someone. Alot of Lightning Guys are running the one solonoid setup with ABS and no problems. Use Joe Lynch's setup and also got to this link for a good article on How to setup Roll Control.

thnk u guys..i read that article and was in the midst of buying the parts through summit. They told me the line locks were not reccomended for abs, but had no reason why..

FWIW, from what I have heard, you must pull the ABS fuse when using a line-lock or the system will do some strange things to the other brakes. I have not confirmed this.

What does PHP stand for or what is the web site for it??????

I use the Hurst roll control/line lock kit on my Formula which has ABS. I have never had any problems. I got it at www.thunderracing.com same one as summit. bit more expensive though.

I wish a sponser would put together a good line lock kit for us with pre bent lines and all the fittings. I would buy it.

You do NOT have to pull the ABS fuse when installing a linelock on the 99+ cars.

P.S. I have a custom linelock on my '03 that I made from 2 Hurst Roll Control solenoids. Works great!!

P.P.S. Use Joe Lynch's installation notes.
