Default Buddy Club N+

Hi guys

Im nearly finished revamping my suspension. Already have all spoon braces.

Parts being fitted are - Power Flex polyurethane bushs
T1R - driveshaft spacers/TCAs/steering rack spacers.
Buddy club N+ coilovers

Rear suspension went together with no problems.

Im encountering a problem with the front suspension though. The coilovers do not have a bracket to mount the flexi brake hose to. What have you guys done to secure the brake line with coilovers?

Please include a picture if you can !

Is that seriously what you are using?

I certainly thought of that, but wanted something a bit safer !!

nothing wrong with using tie-wraps/zip-ties. ive been using it for over 50k miles on my set up without any problems whatsover. its better than let the brake line hang loose IMHO

i've seen others use a worm clamp around the shock body with custom l brackets for the brake line...

^yup just use some zipties. Everything around there isn't moving around that much. I used zipties on my last car for quite a while and never had problems. Thankfully my coilovers on the s2k did have spots for the brakelines although I used zipties instead of the bolts to attached them b/c the zipties seemed to make the lines fit better.
