W210 C32 brake upgrade issue

I have a 2001 E430 and I upgraded to the C32 brakes during the winter time. Since then I have gone through 2 caliper feed lines (the metal lines). I'm confident it's due to the bracket no longer being able to connect to the caliper and allowing the metal line to bounce and flex which leads to the break. The question is, what options do I have to correct this?

When I installed those calipers I did not use that hard line. I removed it with the stock calipers. Later I switched to aftermarket lines https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post5443140

That looks like a good solution. Where did you get them at and how have they been holding up?

No issues so far. Its been a few years since I installed them.

I got them from jegs http://www.jegs.com/i/Russell/799/655243/10002/-1
