Im just wondering what people do with the brake lines after they have swapped wrx suspension on their outback? just zip tie them? I dont really want some crappy job, I want it done right and no one has really adressed this

You can cut one side of the tab and bend it to sneak the brake line, then bend it back to its original place. Other than that I ziptied mine. If you really want to make it clean then you have to unbolt the brake line from the caliper and run it through the hole. Then bolt it back and bleed your brakes. I would suggest a Stainless Steel brake lines while your at it.

I have some of the aforementioned stainless steel brakelines for sale... and yes, you just cut the tab (decent metal snips will do the job) and bend the tab, slide the line in, and bend the tab back up. Then reinstall the clip that holds the line in the slot/hole.
