So when I got my Rubi kit I was shocked at the price they wanted for the SS braided brake lines. It was $80 for the set! I went to a local race shop and got all the fittings and 24 inch lines for $43 and some change. I shortened up the steel line a few inches as steel lines tend to brake when they flex unlike the SS braided lines. I used two rubber coated clamps to fold everything in place better utilizing the factory holes( I don't like drilling more holes than nessary) One clamp is really small and used for the steel line.(fits tightly and holds it in place) the other is about 1/3 over sized in relation to the SS line so the line has a guide but can also "float" inside the clamp when it need to drop or stuff. The nice things also about these lines is that they have hydraulic JIC #3 removable ends so if you need longer lines or damage one you just get a new hose and not the whole assy. Here is a pic. If anyone wants me to get them these lines just PM me. The raceshop is just down the road and he has all the fittings and various lengths.
not necessary unless you are going to run discos. you lift should/might come with brake line relocators

Yeah my kit just said to straighten out the "Z" bend and you will be fine. That statement was correct but in the grand scheme of me over engineering things I opted to add a longer line flexible line and not just be satified with having a relocated line. My rear did need a longer brakehose(SS) which did come with the kit.
