Default Wilwood braided front line length

Hi all,

Has anyone had issues with using Wilwood braided front brake lines?

They specify 16" as bring the recommended length for stock replacement and various caliper replacements, yet the stock hoses are closer to 14". This means they are extra loopy with excess, more so if car sits lower. It nearly requires larger diameter rims just for hose clearance!

I also had the Russell braided set years ago, never installed but had an issue as well and resold. I think they were far shorter from memory. Has anyone used that kit, perhaps 692030, and had dramas, or maybe was fine?

And since on topic, a good brand that sells a single braided rear hose to replace stock? I haven't looked properly yet. I see Firebird Central has some, no brand listed. Only because currently putting a list together, although a 6 week wait to finish a brake install is quite a drag.
