Default Zip tie brake lines after coilover install

Has anyone had problem with zip tying brake lines after installing a coilover?

I tied mine like this to keep them from hanging loose.

As a matter of fact I tried asking this same question without using a pic and got no help. So this time I tried to get a little attention and some advice.

its ok to zip tie you brake lines. i did this onmy 88 crix and havent had a prob yet. just use high strenght zip ties not the wimpy skinny ones they"ll "snap".but you should be straight

Yeah just f'in with ya...it is a sweet looking setup though. I don't think you can go wrong with zip ties--just check them every so often

yes get the heavy duty zip ties, tied them very close, through out the whole brake line (rubber part only).....indeed it does make a difference in feel, not as good as SS lines but then again it doesn't cost much...

defiantly approved
