    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    My coilover lines are kinked pretty good and hitting my UCAs at full droop. I cant straighten them just by twisting the reservoir. How do I adjust them? They are Icon 2.5s btw. And the bracket they included is being interfered with by my bumper bolts. I was going to put a bend in it to make it more vertical, but it has more clearance like this and is secure. Any problem with how it is? As you can see, the spindle isnt even all the way on the UCA. Still have another 5/8" or so to go so the line would def be on the UCA. Thanks

    I beleive it should be mounted horizontal, like the rears

    Also The line should be directed better and droop straps should be installed when using resi's.

    Don't think Icons mount like that. I think he just needs to rotate the resevoir so the hose coming out is closer to the frame toward the coil, instead of away from it.
    EDIT:Well I'm an idiot he said he can't twist the res.

    My mistake, like this!

    Even that looks like it will rub at droop.

    Ya that looks better.

    I think he just needs to loosen those clamps with a screw driver and rotate the res.

    EDIT: Well I'm an idiot he said he can't twist the res. I'm out of ideas. Why can't you twist them?

    Guys I tried rotating the res. I mean yeah I can force it back, but it makes the kink worse not better. Its just the way the lines are. If anything I could twist the shock a little bit. when I was preloading it I noticed the shock actually twists a little bit. notice how the line coming out of the shock is to the left. i will put it back to center.

    So can the lines be adjusted or not? at full droop they are touching, but not much. I can push them off with just a little pressure so I think it will be OK.

    I have the same suspension. Loosen the two hose clamps and turn the reservoir so that the hose is tucked in further, between the UCA and coilover. Two minute job per side.

    // edit - I see you've already tried this. Don't know what else to say. Mine clear fine, but I'm running ICON UCA, not TC.
