    I remember reading on another forum a few years ago that there was a problem with the ZZP Longer front brake lines. The solution was to install some door hinge springs or something? Does anyone has info or knowledge on this subject. I tried searching for this info on the other forum, but I am afraid the thread might be too old and couldn't find it.

    Mine rubbed on my 18's. The lines aren't keyed on the body side like the stock ones were to hold them in that bracket so I just spun the nut to put a little twist in the line to hold it away from the tire if that makes sense.

    Hit any hardware store (if you have one there) and look in teh small spring section. Anything will work.

    Lowes, but like Bill said any hardware store should have them.

    There used for doors I think. They have all different sizes.

    He's in NYC...they don't have Lowes or Home Depot there. heck..they have to import American car parts from Detroit. Parts stores only carry import parts.
