Default maybe a serious problem

ok, i put a tubular k-member , coilover and tubular a-arms on my stang.I have a stick in the car and a killer 347 motor and 4.30 geras with slicks, i have yet to go to the track, but i noticed that the wheel movement is a lot more now like when i jack the wheel up the brake line dam near pull in half. i am worried that when i yank the wheels up off the ground at the track it may rip the brak lines off, is this a real problem or does it just look like it might but not

I can't imagine how you'd rip the brake lines off by yanking the wheels. When you jack the front of the car up, is it so tight that it's about to come apart? If it's not...Then I wouldn't worry about it.

if you have to just go out and get abother soft brake hose and just make some brake lines because you don't want to lose your brakes while going that fast.

you need to remove the brake line bracket,and postion it further back on the frame rail. Just take your time,and gently bend the line back. If not just buy longer braided brake hoses. I have a QA1 K-Member w/tubular control arms,coil-overs,UPR Caster/Camber Plates,Flaming River Manual -Rack, Aero-Space Brakes up front on my '86 GT. Good luck!!
