Just as the title says, I can't figure out how to route the SS brake lines without kinking them as I have Koni 3011 shocks with no shock mount for the brake line.

 

do you not have the brake mount bracket?

i have konis on mine and i followed the stock route but only one bolt lines up. I believe it is the one in the back

or just use zip ties. alot of racers use them

 

Just get the "GOOD" zip ties. I mean even with the stock shock mount on there it would position it in the same place/way. I can't see how you would pinch or kink the lines at all.

 

Don't use stock length lines with race shocks. The complicated stock routing means the lines are very long. Call OPM for some Earl's lines.

 

Zsolt - You got it nailed. My brake lines are very, very long with the race shocks... I will call OPM Monday unless some else has further opinions.

It's only money....

 

I second the zip tie method. However use a several zip ties. First, put one around the brake line and another 90 degres from that. Do the same on the shock tower. Now put one that brings together the 2 zip ties (from the brake line and shock). This will let the brake line move without rubbing againts anything.

....If you are totally confused, I've done my job

 

I slit some rubber hose and put it over the line first. That makes sure you won't have problems with the braided stainless sawing through anything it comes in contact with. Use small zip ties to hold the hose together. Those shorter lines look interesting too, but I would still use the hose cover just in case.

 

My brakes melted the zipties that I used. I messed around w/ them for about ~45mins each running them differ ways till I got them to run properly and actually got to use one bolt (w/ the help of spacers) to hold them in place.

That is exactly what I did, but the bends are too tight and I can't seem to figure out the way they ran stock. Does anyone happen to have a picture of the stock routing?

 

Zsolt - How long are your brake lines as pictured? I called OPM today and they needed a length that I want them to be!

 

About 20 inch. There is "63010220" printed on them.

When I called Tom, I asked him to give me the lines he runs on his CRXs.

Grinding down the bracket on the GSR caliper was needed to make these fit on mine.

 

20" It is! Thanks!

 

Just installed these on my car as I was having the same problem with the lines being too long. OPM sent me four 20" hoses and adaptors for Honda brake lines, everything fit well, except having to dremel out the holders for the banjo ends, no biggie though and everything looks much better! Now back to the garage to finish some things on the car before Lime Rock this weekend...

to OPM Autosport!
