For those who have gone disc in the front, how did you route the steel braided line? Around the back:

Or around the front:

I found the front to be better, as when I routed it around the back of the struts it rubs against the car body when the wheel turns. Right now I have it kind of bent so it doesn't hit anything but I'm worried it will bend back. Around the front though has me worried about wheel clearance, but I don't think it will be a problem.

I have the MAXX kit and Jon told me most people plumb it behind. Haven't finished the front lines yet so no Pictures sorry.

Just routed mine. I do have the MAXX kit, and since I am using 17 x 7's, the wheel will be running pretty close to the spring. SO routing it behind the strut seems to make alot of sense.

I have Maxx struts too. And to to the best of my knowledge. I also routed them behind the strut because of the 17x7's.
