While looking at the pictures I noticed something that concerns me. The '05 ST flex lines that I picked up to up-grade from the stock 2 piece lines seem a little to short. If you look at the last couple pictures they seem a little streched out, although the suspension is at full extension. There is no bracket to keep the middle of the line in place and I am worried that it may come in to contact with the tire while driving. Has anybody done this chane to the 1 piece lines?
The one piece flex I got with the SVT swap kit also seemed a bit short, but my mechanic says it's fine ... having said that, I also bought a SS flex line kit for all non-SVT Focus with rear discs, and it was definitely too short - couldn't even get it on.
The fact that you've got it connected is a good start ... the fact that there is no bracket is a function of the OE SVT setup which is a two piece - you may want to consider fabricating a bracket, but then the line might be too short.
I'll have a look at my line today and see if there's any evidence of rubbing on the tire.
