Default Line Lock kits, any recommendations?

Ok looking to buy a line lock kit, already got some suspension goodies on the way here. Now just need some advice on a good kit. Seen the SLP and Hurst kits both for the LSx cars and wondering what everybody's advice would be on each. What are you running and how's it working for you? Do you like it, what would you change about it if you could, etc...

Thanks!

SLP will drop right in with little to no bending of brake lines. So for easy of install. get it.

I did a SLP one and it was EASY!

On the other side, I did a hurst one once with just the solenoid for like 65 and it was still easy. Ill take a few hours labor over spending twice as much

Nothing to the installs really, worst part is bleeding the brakes afterwards. Not easy doing it solo, and sorry but I don't trust my girl to pump the brake for me lol.

But yeah, ease of installation does help, but twice the price doesn't necessarily justify it.

And there's a kid in newington ct that has the slp kit for $100. too bad it's like an hour away from me. last time i went to ct, well let's just say it was a bad experience for all of those involved. long story short, looked at a 95 camaro, kid says yeah it's in wicked good shape. get there and it's beat to shit, drove 2 hours each way, sorry but no snow in this story, but there were a lot of hills hahaha.

as a kit you get harness, button, solenoid, and brake lines. wich i believe now are stainless. buy all that and its more then the cost difference.

Sorry Zinc plated. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SLE-25000/?rtype=10

Oh I agree, getting the whole kit is SIMPLE and easy. I'm just cheap and have all the other shit at the garage lol

I do like the SLP kit, if I was to do one on my dads car it would probably be that one.
