Default Stainless steel brake line install concerns

I picked up the 6-pc ti-specific brake line set from TMS a little bit ago and did the install over the weekend along with most the other replaceable braking goodies (rotors / pads / etc). The 2 front lines were obviously longer than the 4 lines in the rear-that wasn't a problem. My concern does lie with the two front brake lines though, when I went to install them with the car jacked up under the side-rocker jack points and the front suspension at full droop, there was no way in hell that the brake lines could be connected to the caliper and reach the brake rotors (for mounting). The lines seemed to be too short, definitely shorter than stock at least. I *was* able to install the lines by compressing the front suspension a bit--however, if the suspension will ever see full droop again, the front brake lines will have to snap first.

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm going to try contacting TMS as soon as I can / after they open up again to see what the deal is.

Matt
