Tony, to answer at least one of your questions....take a look at Irid's post "suspension failure" you'll see how the brake lines are routed and secured to the A frame. Incidentally, this is how mine are routed as well. As for the bending of the bracket I'm unsure, my tech did not mention anything that he had to inorder to make them fit.
Hope that helps.

Explaining Viper things to you
Did mine yesterday, although it was Dave's kit. It wasn't easy but doable.

I asked Dave at Big Brakes about the difference between the East coast and West coast kits. With all the recent hoopla about having to bend brackets or fab your own etc.

He emphasized West coast parts do not have that issue.

wasntim... What makes you say it wasn't easy?

I think Dodge itself and the fact that it is a handmade car affect that. We had to bend the tabs on the brackets and manuever the hard lines to get things to match up. Finally, it was a matter or rerouting the lines so as to make sure they don't rub.

Those lines don't appear to be quite long enough. I tie wrapped mine to the upper control arm in the rear, The front kind of doubles back on itself for turning. (which needs to be longer.)
