Default Brake bracket on coilover question.

The coilovers I have don't have a brake bracket. I notice some of them do and some don't. Anyway, what did those of you do with the brake lines if you didn't have a brake bracket mount provision? Thanks.

First of all make sure they are goin the right way lol. IF thats good then just zip tie to something stationary. Thats what I usually do if I cant find a mount. Hasnt failed me yet.

+1 for zipties. Or you can try getting mounts from other coilovers like Tein.

zip tie is the easiest way....just don't tighten too much.

Are you talking about the mounting bracket for the ABS sensor wire? If so, then ziptie is the easiest. Just make sure you can turn the steering wheel full lock left and right without having the ABS sensor wires pulled. God knows how many times people ripped their wires from coilover installation.

Yes, once I did the install I realized the lines where not the brake lines but the ABS sensor wire. I got them zip tied for now.
