wilwood clearance issue with LR shock solved

[69ozz]

i have seen a lot of posts with people having problems with the rear mount wilwood calipers on first gens. i had the same problem with mine. i assembled the housing out of the car and then during install i found the lr shock problem. i am using 3/16 hard line from the center of the housing to each side. when the line gets to the u-bolt i am using -3 braided stainless flex line. with the lr i had to use a 90* fitting off the hard line aimed towards the rear of the car around the back side of the shock with a 90* fitting towards the front of the car which attached to the fitting in the caliper which is a 90* facing the rear. sounds a little confusing but its very clean looking and i have about 3/8" clearance to the shock. i hope this helps someone else.
