Hey guys - Trying to keep my car simple and stock as possible, but I do plan on racing it every now and then. Maybe a few times a year...Anyhow, my concern is that the car has 4 wheel discs. How easy/difficult/dumb will it be to do a burnout without a line lock? Thanks

bad idea.. Get a line lock.. You really dont want to burn up your rear disc brakes.. DO YOU???
I have to agree with this. You will glaze your rear brakes making them less effective.

Our street car has 4 wheel discs and no line lock. Been that way since 2000 and not any issues at all. FWIW the car in question runs mid 10's.

Most cars truly don't need a line lock anyway. If you roll through the puddle and stop just before the pavement gets dry and smack the throttle hard, the car will jump right up on the tire with very little forward movement, even with no line lock. As soon as it starts spinning well, go to high gear to make wheel speed and you will get the tire plenty hot, plenty fast and hardly move forward. Regardless of tire type, or how you see some kill their tires in the burnout, the ideal tire temp is within 20-30 degrees of the track temp. The only time I have ever used the line lock on any of my cars, was if it had a clutch and then I used it to stage. May take you a few times to get used to this method, but it's really easy once you do.
