260zturbo Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 my brake setup concest of a 2 superlite wilwoods Calipers in the front. the front rotors and hats are wilwoods. the rear is 2 wilwoods Dynalite Calipers. all four Calipers are 4 piston. this setup kinda looks like the az setup but i bought it from a guy who made the setup. 500 dollars i could not really argue. i just got my wilwood proportioning valve and i know to install it on the rear brake line. now my question is since i can no longer use my ebrake should i put a line lock on the front or rear? granted that i dont really use the ebrake at all just to hold the car in park.......the car will be autox but mainly for street use. which would yall recomend to put a line lock on the front or rear? if in front can help in burn outs and what not but if in the rear could be used as a parking brake and what not. what types of line locks do yall use. see alot of people who use the az kit have the line lock in the rear just would like to know pros and cons.

Pop N Wood Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 If all you want is a parking brake, then don't bother putting a line lock on it at all. Opinions vary, but they don't work for that purpose. Do a search and see if you can count the number of members who tried using a line lock as a parking brake only to find their car somewhere other than where they parked it. Leave it in gear when you partk it. If you want more than go to autozone and buy a set of plastic wheel chocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260zturbo Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 yea iv been reading and the more i think about it the more it looks like the hydrolic parking brake is kinda worthless if it does not hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I agree. I only use my linelock when I want to keep the car running and a/c going if I'm going to jump out for a minute. I would never trust a line lock as a parking brake, I just use first gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
