Brake Roll Control

Hey Guys...
Just a few questions for those that have the Roll control, whether its hurst or slp or whatever...

1. Is it worth it?
2. Easy to install?
3. How often to you use it?
4. Any preferences of brand?
5. And Have you had any problems with it?

Thanks alot and hope you can help!!
James

You can get a kit with prebent brake lines. This adds to the price, but well worth it. You only use when you want to do a burn out. It's not an emergency brake or anything. Note, If you accidentally flip the switch while you are driving, you won't have front brakes till you flip the switch back.

It's actually the reverse of that. You'd have perfectly good brakes, they just wouldn't release if you let off the brake pedal. All the same, probably not a switch you want to accidentally flip, especially if you're cruising down the freeway...

I was talking about if you were cruising down the freeway.

Okay, but you said "you won't have front brakes until you flip the switch back" - it's actually that your brakes would remain on when/if you hit them, until you flip the switch off. That's completely opposite of how I read your statement.
