Brake lines hitting coilovers
 
Im looking for a source of brake lines for my JKU. Just added coilovers an the brake lines hit the coilovers at full lock, because all the brake lines have that 90 degree banjo fitting that sticks out.

Im looking for some brake lines that have straight banjo fittings but no luck.

I tried my local hydraulic tubing shop, but they don't have the right size banjos.

Note: Prorock 44 front with JT Performance (Crown) big brake kit.

Post up some pictures. My coilovers came with all new braided lines and there are no issues with binding. My experience with coilovers is to be ready to modify things to make them work lol.

My vehicle is the shop but found people talking about same issue on WF. Mine may be worse because of the coilovers.

All JK lines have this right angle on them.

See the photos (not my jeep, but illustrates problem.

Why not try straightening the lines at that bend?

I got some lines with a round mounting point instead of square so I could angle them differently. I believe they were Teraflex.

Boom. That may be the best solution. Ordered them.

My brake lines are custom fit and go all the way to the calipers.

Actually they bend pretty easy. If they were brittle you could not get the 90 in them.

Boom. thats what I need.

I emailed a company for a quote... my local shop didn't have the right banjo fittings or bolts. Where did you get yours?
