Stanley ... notice those brackets welded in to the damper bodies? This is where the brake hose normally mounts, and is held in with a clip.

A lot of aftermarket stuff doesn't take this into account. How about your Titans?

I had a bad experience once when I 'DOWNGRADED' to braided stainless steel covered teflon/nylon lines, and the cable ties they used to hold it onto the damper bracket came loose. The line then rubbed against my wheel until it burst open, and I lost my brakes and had to drive home slowly using the handbrake only, late at night to avoid traffic.

As the suspension and braking system are safety items, right down to the balljoints (you wouldn't want your suspension to collapse on the road right? I've seen it happen quite a few times!), these are important issues to look at. Even many of the 'big name' brands don't look into this as perhaps for track use, its OK but road use puts a lot of strain on all parts of the car.
 
we use a hose clamping technique..

quite safe, in our experience
and for extra safety

you could always cable tie it to the damper again.
 
Thanks for the info. Can't really understand it but can you post some pics?
