hey lads and some laddets sorta up shit creek with out a pattle at the moment,well the problem is i have upgraded my brakes to the fc rx7 option ive used all parts from ajps that includes brackets for the callipers and braided brake lines the reason for this thread is with everything fitted the brake line fitting into the calliper touches the sway bar on full lock and this puts strain onto the fitting which will cause it to crack/brake/come loose i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they have come up with any alternative options other than changing the swaybar
see pics below

also the swaybar is a 24mm blade adjustable

unsure on how it sits but isnt the brake suppose to be fitted to the other side of the bracket? or bracket on wrong way. brake looks to far back compared to where the hub would sit

get a banjo

here is one that's an integral part of the clutch lines I have:

howevere you can get adapters for existing lines

^ yeah, use banjo's as said above. It also helps if you have the suspension loaded when checking clearance (unless this is a rally car...).

what a fkn kent! banjo is a good option but you will need to get new lines or find someone to mod the ones you have. from past experiences with the top blokes at pirtek you might be able to find, in their jungle of bits and pieces, a 45degree joint where you could still use those lines. just a thought.
