[Stealth Performance]

SLP Brake Control Package, 1993-97 Camaro/Firebird


An SLP exclusive, this unit is designed to fit all 1993-1997 V8- and V6-powered GM F-Bodies. Here's how it works: Press the brake pedal and flip the brake-control solenoid switch. Remove your foot from the pedal, and the solenoid maintains line pressure to the front brakes until the switch is released. This makes it easy to heat the rear tires while minimizing wear and tear on your car's rear brake components. You can also use the system to prevent a manual-trans car from rolling out of the staging beams at the starting line. This kit is custom-fitted to the F-Body chassis and is fully compatible with the factory anti-lock braking and traction-control systems. It includes a waterproof electrical solenoid, an activation switch, plug-in wires, CNC-bent steel lines with correct OE fittings, mounting hardware, and detailed installation instructions.

I'm curious...... does the control release if the car is shut off? If not, I'm thinking this could also be used as a front "parking brake" , preventing the car from being moved or towed unless jacked up. Oh.... you didn't mention the price.

Not sure on that one

sounds like a great idea

$119.95 if you look below the pic of the system.

How correct you are. I should have scrolled down a little further.

OR

you can get a line lock.

depends what source you wire the solenoid with switched 12V or constant.

[Joe 1320]

I suppose it would depend more on whether the solenoid takes power to activate and also takes power to deactivate. If the solenoid takes power to activate and stays in that position without being powered until current is reapplied to switch it in the opposite direction, then it should work. If it simply is a power on, no power switch off, then it won't unless a unswitched 12V constant power is left applied even with the vehicle switched off. Hmmm..... this might be a neat system in the making. Wouldn't it be cool to lock the front and rear brakes, flip a hidden switch and your brakes stay locked until YOU decide to unlock them. If it isn't passive, I wonder how much current the solenoid draws?

I wouldn't want to leave it on long...I doubt it is designed for constant duty thus would get hot relatively quick and my guess would be it would draw at least a couple Amps which is pretty significant if you were to leave it on overnight...IMHO

It would probably take a double solenoid valve with detents to make a parking brake that didn't require power.

Mike - do you have an installed pic - I want to know exactly where it mounts because i might have other junk in the way...

Also, Joe, some guys have used 4 wheel line locks as a poor man's trans brake, but I can't remember what the Antilock ussues were - they might have had to pull the fuse while at the track.
