Default stoptech ss lines

sup guys, okay so i just got my stop tech ss lines for my Z. i upgraded to oem brembos!! im having an issue for the front ss lines. how do you guys wrap the line? i follow the intructions, but seems like whenever i turn the steering wheel far left or right im putting a lot of strain on the ss line! i was using the oe bracket like instruction, but doesnt seem right. i hook it up without the oe bracket, but its still look like im pulling very hard on the ss line whenever i steer the wheel. any suggestion.show pics too. lol. btw my coilsover dont have bracket like oem to hang speed sensor or brake line.

I wish I could tell you. I did mine also, but I never took pics. I remember my lines did the same thing. I had to reroute mine as well. I do recall having to take the oem bracket and repositioning it or something similar. I basically put the entire front end up on jack stands, swapped lines, then played with it a bit to see if it would hang up or not.

Anyway, here's a thread of the rear install...

Here is how I ran mine. Dont pay attention to the dirt everywhere haha.
I used a nylon spacer to mount the bracket because it has a slight bend to it and wouldnt sit flush.

slowly getting setup for track use. I want to get rid of the Megans and get Stance Comp 2's or 3's. The Megans use the seperate rear spring and it's such a pain to set pre-load in the rear, and any time you adjust ride height you have to re-adjust pre-load and vise versa. Excited to try out the new brakes though, having some pressure issues in the front, thinking I still have some air in the lines.
