ABS or no ABS?

If you got ABS, it makes it easy.

If you don't got ABS, it's a royal pain in the ***.
With no ABS, the brake master cylinder has FR and FL channels, so you either gotta Y them into a single line lock solenoid or run two - one for each front brake channel.

line lock in an FC would be nice, but as Ted stated it would be a PITA to setup.

Cheating?

To do a burnout with an FR, you have to hold the brake down hard enough to keep the front from rolling. But, obviously, with the brake pressed, you are applying the brakes on the rear also. With the wheels spinning, your basically chewing up the rear brakes and rotors unneccesarily.

It also prevents stupid people from letting off the brake and rocketing into a wheel or car, while doing a burnout.

It's safety, and it saves brake parts.
