SLP Line Locks Experiences?
Does anyone have the SLP line locks on a 2007 GT? I am wondering how they connect. By the picture on Brenspeed's web site, there is only one solenoid. I emailed Bredspeed about it, but have not heard anything back.
I am wondering if it connects directly to the ABS unit under the hood like the GMS Tire Fryer kit. The GMS kit uses 2 solenoids in its setup.
Thanks,
Sean

I'm pretty sure the SLP kit is a single solenoid kit. On a car equipped with ABS, I'd stay away from that. Here's my write-up on the PMP kit:

i see many people say to stay away from the single slonoid kit like the SLP one, WHY? i know sme guys that have it with no problem

hey guys, line locks may be something i get interested in some day... cause i would love to be able to roast the tires without roasting the brakes....
whats the best kit right now?
or better yet, who has the best price on a kit?

Some guys do run it without problems. But why chance it on something so vital? There was an article somewhere explaining why you don't want a single solenoid setup for a car with ABS. Not sure where it is. But there's a reason I decided to go with PMP and piece my system together, instead of going with the prebuilt SLP system.

I have the SLP kit and it is the only one I would use. People who say there is problems with a sgl solenoid kit have listened to people who don't know what they are talking about. It is also the cleanest install of all the kits.

Hey Cali, was wondering where you mounted your switch inside the cabin?

Works perfect...
Looks like it's factory equipment.

This is an excerpt from a post on another board about this very thing. I don't have the original article being referenced, or I'd post it. The guy also speaks from personal experience, when he saw failure himself after installing a single setup on a vehicle. The company ended up reimbursing him for the new ABS parts that were needed.
TMI did the research and published a memo back in early 06. I'll forward you a copy of it. Rich Goodrow an s197 specialist and a technical specialist with TMI worked the testing. I spoke with him directly numerous times. I thought they outlaid something in the ballpark of 16 or 17k in testing.. Don't quote me on that, drawing from memory here, but it was a large multi K number.
Basically, part of the problem is that the single solenoid is unforgiving in those drivers that are creative in it's use.. and for that matter fast at making adjustements on the fly.. My understanding is these people back wash (rush backing of fluid) the Booster (vacuum back rush in regards to the booster) and ABS controller and it fails partially or entirely.
There was another example of full failure on what I thought was nearly a 100% basis (again drawing from memory) when the single solenoid is engaged, and the user stayed mashing the pedal, once the lock was released, inherently so was the pedal and it appeared as though a double release occured. Backwash again occured and tossed the ABS light intermittantly, in some cases it was a constant, and in others the ABS was gone altogether.
So there are some specifics and an abbreviated list of what I recall from Rich's document. Apparently location of the solenoids right off the caliper and the use of duals is far more forgiving to all components of the braking system.

Hehe. I thought about editing the traction control part out, but hey... that sh.. is funny! As far as the line locks go, to each his own. Show me 1 sgl solenoid setup that has had a single problem. I have seen several dual solenoid setups that leak, lines get damaged in the wheel well, and sideways burnouts because one solenoid was stronger than the other.
