Question about StopTech Stainless Brake Lines - Front (Non-Brembo)

Last weekend I installed the rear StopTech stainless brake lines which was very easy. My questions is about the Front brake lines. I started to do the Fronts but noticed that the original brake lines appear to be a 3 piece/linkage (The line from the car goes to a linkage on the strut to a linkage on a suspension support then finally to the caliper... does that make sense?) and the StopTech stainless lines for the front that I bought are just one line. It appears to be the correct length but I just wanted to make sure before installing that none of the linkages were important and that it's ok to go directly from the original brake line starting point to the caliper.

Sorry I'm not able to explain it any better. I don't know the proper terminology for the parts

There are lines that utilize mounting blocks, but the ones you have do not use the mounting blocks - bad design.. Install them per directions, however, they will be rubbing, so make sure to keep an eye on them.
