Caliper Positioning
Rookie rebuilder here, looking at AIM, am a little unclear on caliper mounting position. I assume by the rear caliper pre-bent stainless steel lines I purchased, that the calipers mount with bleeders at high point on rotors. I also have the optional rear sway bar installed and it looks to me that the prebent stainless steel lines need to be tweeked to account for the sway bar mounting bracket. How prone are these preformed stainless steel lines to splitting/breaking when attempting to adjust to fit. Any advice is appreciated!

I don't think they'll split, but you don't want them to deform and crush either. I'd check out the local auto parts stores that loan out tools for free. Some of the ones around here have tubing benders that will allow you to do the job correctly.
