I am in the middle of of installing the F&F coils and dont understand how I'm supposed to attach the brake line to the front strut because the bracket isn't there. Is there suppose to be one? How do i resolve this issue?

What is difficult about the zip ties answer? The shocks on the coilovers don't come with the threaded nut welded on them like the OEM one does. So your brake line will be hanging. If it bothers you that it's hanging, zip tie it to an area of the shock where the spring/coil won't cut or hit it.

One cannot simply install Fast & Furious, it is something one is born with in their blood... Or, as Dylan said, just ziptie the dvd to your legs or some shit

uh.. you use zipties and attach them (your brake lines) to the coilover- much like the bracket your referring to would. you're doing this job yourself and couldnt fathom how zipties would help? goodluck

It works best if you use the dual zip tie method. You take one zip tie and wrap it around the shock and insert the small end in to the big end and give it about 2 clicks, just so that it stays closed. Then take another zip tie and run it through the one you just put on the shock, almost like a chain link(Important: do not insert the ends together yet), and then wrap it around the brake hose and then put the ends together and tighten it. Then go back and tighten the first one. Problem solved.


Edit: Forgot to mention that you can use wire cutters to cut off the excess tie, but I am sure you can figure that out.

zip ties is two words buddy, and., the answer to "do they have the brake line brackets" is a one word answer

Yup, you have to break out Gods miracle strap. You can also get crazy and cut the brackets off an old set of shocks(or make your own) and hose clamp it to the new strut...but a zip tie works just as well.

i would be careful of the zip tie method and not to over tighten as this could cause problems with fluid unless you have ss lines.
