Installed the lines and solenoid over the weekend. Below are pics.
I haven't wired it yet, but I've driven her and so far no leaks or death.

*Thanks to JP at HTP Motorsports for a killer deal :)* :chainsaw:

The 07+ style looks to be an easier install because of drilling location.

For 05-06 (like mine) you can remove the strut assembly and go in from the back (I assume), I ended up using my 19.2v craftsmen c3 angled cordless and put the self taping screw in as a bit and went to town.

This was after snaping off two tiny bits. Seems an air ratchet would work as well.

I like the placement since it gives plenty of room for my oil separator.

I am completing the SLP line lock kit tomorrow. I need to bleed the brakes. Yes, installing two screws in that location is nearly impossible. The car is an 06.

No it's not. Go to Home Depot and buy the Milwaukee 90 degree adapter for your drill zip in the screws. No need to pre-drill holes on thin metal self tappers

the pre-drilling is to make it easier when you hold the bracket and screw it in. Most drill bits will be too long anyway. I just used the self-tapping screw to drill the hole in, took it out, put the bracket there and put the biotch back in.
90* drill or air ratchet recommended.

Wired it up last night. Works, but haven't burnout tested it yet.

Only thing I would change is to have the bracket on the solenoid rotated so the prongs point down instead of out to the side (easier to hide the wires).

I just finished my line lock yesterday took a couple of hours because there are ALOT of tight spots! Where you are trying to either loose or tighten a bolt its always hard to get in the spot. Also taking out the OEM tube from under the brake fluid resavoir was PITA. I still havent mounted my solenoid though. Good luck!

How did u wire in the Solenoid ? I've read quite a few posts that say you should wire it the opposite way that the directions show because if it shorts it can engage accidently. ?

it dosent matter if it engages while you driving it wont make your car lock the brakes unless you where pressing the brake down when it came on.

you cant reverse wire it... either female plug can go on either male end on the solenoid.

power forces it closed.
if it would close while you were on your brakes you would come to a stop because you couldnt releive the pressure.
if it would close while you were off the brakes you wouldn't have front brakes as pressure couldn't increase past the 'noid. you would still have your rear brakes.

most likely i would see something melt from heat and when you went to use it, it wouldnt work, i think that is most likely than the other two above.
