Extension on ABS Brake Lines?
I just installed the extended brake lines and was wondering if there is a need for extensions on the abs lines? It seems like they might be a little short. Any comments? Thanks.

SENSOR CABLE ADJUSTMENT
The brake lines are tight before the adjustment and longer brake lines are not installed but I was able to get the sensor cable to have a ton of slack. There was slack in the front of the caliper that can be moved to the rear for longer droops. I have a 4 inch spring and my droop is awesome. I need to measure it but that is another time.
Pull the connectors off the mounts. The will slide right off. Then you can just slide the long grommet down the wire to create room for droop.
Move onto the lower grommet and do the same.
Reinstall them and you will be amazed with the extra slack.
After the adjustment there is plenty of wire for the droop. The brake lines however will need attention eventually. The shocks will determine how much and that will be addressed as soon as I get them.
