If there is no place to tie down the brake line, you may have to just rig it with zip ties.

hmm there should be a mounting bracket on the coilover itself that the lines bolt to.. no?

i'm gguessing you got the newest version of the ksports for the tc:



weird, they didnt put any brackets for the brake line on the shock tube. like zombies said above, i'd get a large zip tie and wrap it around the coilover, but leave it with a little play so the lines can move around.

I had the same problem w/my Function and Form Coilovers, I took the rear struts apart and removed the two collars on the bottom of the thread, that gave me another .5" or so drop in the rear

i used the metal sheet thingy... it's a 1 in. wide metal roll that had holes in it.. i rolled out 5 inches, and secured one end on a ground or something.. i forgot.. and secured the brake lines by wrapping the metal roll around the lines and then bolted the metal holes together...

or you can ziptie them to your sway bar or sway bar link... idk

I believe those are for you to secure your brake lines. Bolt the closed end to one of the two bolts, and then on the open end you put the grommet thing around your brake line and stick it into the open end. At least that was how mine was installed.
