Default Good Line lock instead of staging brakes.

I am wanting to keep my rear brakes working instead of running a stage brake. I have been looking but most of the line locks i have seen have one port in and one out is there any with 2 ports in and 2 out?

Anyone successfully loading their car at the line with a lock instead of a stage brake cause as of late it seems everyone is just running a SB. I see them both working correctly (both still using the same amount of brake pressure), but when i let go of the button i will still have my rear brakes with the line lock. any input?

why not use 2 line lock solenoids one to each rear brake, and wire the activation switch parallel, this is what I am thinking of trying.

My line lock is wired into the ebrake. I set the ebrake and pump the brakes 3 times and the pressure is held in it. Once burnout is going I release the ebrake and the line lock disengages.

I was thinking the same but to save space it would be easy to have 1 vs 2 solenoids.

Thats a good way to do it. I was thinking either steering wheel button or button on the shifter something i can let go of fast when leaving the line.

Instead of using two solenoids, why not T the one outlet to each wheel?

the line lock solenoids usually have 1 inlet 3 outlets, so you have to T the inlet and I want them independent, if you could find one with 2 inlet would be nice.

Most have one inlet and one outlet.

What's the benefit to keep them seperate?
