just fitted my coilovers , i bought them second hand , so dont know if this was in the instruction book , but when i went to raise them i noticed that the brake pipe was rubbing on the chassis , because the height was different to standard, the rubber rings on the pipe were in the wrong place, and they were to high up , just wanted to warn people in case they did not notice .

Yeah, I found the rubber rings needed adjusting quite a bit on mine. IIRC I pushed them both away from the calipers.

you can keep the rubber-donuts at their correct locations
using zipties and cable-wrap.

important , esp for those using braided hoses.

cheers.
