Was installing my coilovers on my Ed9 and realized that my teins are missing the two brackets for the brake line support. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this and if its ok to just leave it.
The first two are the fronts, as you can see it has the brake line support bolts

use large cable ties to hold the line or bolt holes to your shock or suspenion fork.
use two a side to keep the lines out of the way of the driveshafts and other components
thanks
thats exactly what my mate did
Although i already used some metal wires
what type of teins for which car?
use ur stock brake line supports, u should be able to tapp them off with a rubber mallet
Stainless hose clamps
or stainless zip ties.
The old ones are untappable, they're welded around everygap!
They're tein HR's for ED9 CRX
thanks for the helps, i was thinking of stainless hose clamps, but it seems fat zipties can do the job.
I would not suggest plastic cable ties, as they are not the strongest thing to use (especialy if u have braided lines) as mentioned above use a stainless clamp, but make sure not to make it to tight, last thing u want is to have no fluid going to ur brakes :S
Cheers Dave.
You can't do that, not with Tien's anyway. The circumference of the tien body is large than that of the stock ones.Quote:

Make sure you leave enough slack in the brake lines to ensure it doesn't rub or bind on anything, turn the wheel lock to lock to check as well.
i used cable ties on my EG which i track often.. No problem at all.. make sure use 2 cable ties just to be on the safe side
cable ties FTW
you can reuse the stock brake line holders off stock shocks , on SOME coilovers.
Examples are - EG / EK / DC and CL9 front shocks can reuse the brake line mount , on TEIN and KONI suspension. Bang it off and place it back on. Its advised via the intsructions and should be done when possible. Not sure what other coilovers or shocks can reuse the mounts.
good ****ing work Bau :thumbsup:
bau's solution is the best
keen eyes will notice the rubber between the coilover and clamp to help against scratching and prevent slipping.
ahhhh ok fair enough....all the coils that i've installed i've reused the stock brake line support mounts
aww well gl with it anyways, should be right with zip ties though...
the clamps i bought cost less than $15 at repco.Quote:

what are those things called Bludger?
Hose clamps.
they vary in quality and price, look for the most expensive and best looking ones you can find.
lol true i might do this ! thanks man
bau such a handyman
with zip tie where would be the best position to zip it down ?
