I bought a set of Pacesetter long tube headers from here, I was very satisfied with the company.

The shock tower brace looked pretty easy to do... but was a SERIOUS pain with the nuts. I got some pb blaster (I think that's what it was called) and let some soak in and heated up the nuts multiple times before I was able to get them off.

So basically be careful with stripping your nuts! Other than that it was pretty easy and I don't remember any trouble with lines...

Yea that was actually what I was gonna say, the driver side nuts look good but the passenger side of the nuts look rusted out/stripped so really scared to touch it. I would need a 15mm wrench but I really don't want to make the nuts even worse.

mine came right off

and btw if you use a cresent wrench you can fit it around the brake lines, or get a 90* elbow for your socket set, you can get to them fine

Yeah I don't remember what I used for elbows and wrenches and stuff... I have all that in my tool boxes so I probably used all of the above haha! I would say if you had to ruin the nuts to get them off that's ok you can just replace them... just don't ruin the threads on those studs because if I remember right, those connect directly to your shock assembly.
