SO ziptieing is doing it right?
No offense but this is not a drift S13 I am driving, about the only thing im okay with ziptieing on this car is the brake line onto the shock body. That's it. Zipties holding my brake lines in place is not in the least bit comforting to me...

if anything drifting requires more steering input therefore has a higher tendency to wear out lines if weren't installed properly
and yes zip tie brake lines to shock is doing it right because it is preventing the lines from rubbing anything else
would u be suprised to know that i have to zip tie my ap ss lines onto my src shock body?
however in ur current case, stock suspension has brake line brackets and my g-stop kit comes with bracket as well so you don't need to zip tie anything... when you go on to aftermarket coilovers then you will have to zip tie the lines even with the stock rubber lines cuz most coilovers got no brake line brackets either

among other things.
I didn't know this was you. We played MW2 a little bit when it first came out. Good meeting you.

@ Ameer:
SS lines are fine... just consider them a wear and tear item that needs to be replaced annually.
I don't quite trust them to last a very long time. The SS braiding will catch dirt/sand/clay/whatever, and small movements will cause abrasion...
We don't want another Cale incident to happen. I check my brake lines every time my rims are off.

the key is to get a good kit that comes with clear rubber outter tube that protects the braides so no dust issues guys~

if you know the construction of ss lines, you wouldn't say it is the same as oem rubber lines...
