Default SS Brake line install question

Is this the correct routing for the front brake line? Longer lines up front?

Compare the length of the ss lines with the exsiting lines and install accordingly. The position of your front line looks fine. Just make sure there is nothing interfering with the newly installed lines when the wheels are on the ground. And, make sure all of the air is out of the system after installing the new lines.

Are you sure? I would think the longer lines need to go in the front for turning the wheel. :crazy:
