Brake line prob.

Ok, since I now have the D2's installed my brake lines are too long...

I pulled the front wheel today and saw that the front drivers brake line slipped under the strut and was getting pinched and it is now damaged.

Can I shorten my brake lines? or can I buy shorter lines to replace the front ones?

I dont want to switch to stainless lines yet, I am in enough trouble with my significant other for the D2's and full exhaust to turn around and order something else... I need a good month or two of no new stuff for the max...

what exactly do you mean by damaged, you notice that your brake caliper isnt working right cause of the pinched line?? also it sounds like if you get some zip ties, you can rig something up to hold it our of the way. i am not sure about shorter brake lines, you would have to find ones that have the same fitting on the caliper and to your metal line coming from the master cylinder.
