Hey all I have recently upgraded my front brakes to J30's. So upon install I got SS brake lines for them went in smooth but the brake line looks like it's going to hit the coilovers on both sides when I run them thru the bracket supports. If I let them hang I fear of something hitting them and me losing my brakes. Now as far as the rears go I got the driver side off and replaced but it started to strip as I tighter it back up. Yes yes I'm using line wrenches for this job as well but on the passenger side I've about stripped the line without even trying hard to get it off so now I'm suck with two different lines and don't know what to do without further damaging another else.

So what are you asking?

For the fronts, can you route the line into the little guide where the old rubber one was? It should hold it pretty snug, or you can rig (in a good way) something up.

For the rears, are you saying you can't tighten them up with proper wrenches? Maybe the lines are crappy?
