Yeah I'm not sure what the solution is but the braided brake line is kind of awkward to place as far as clearing the e-brake and other caliper parts and getting the hose itself in a decent place. It can totally get in the way if you're not careful with it. After having messed with it for awhile though I'm not sure that any of the standard kind of bends that are available for the banjo would be any better than what they come with.
The 15/16" pedal definitely gives a longer pedal than any of the factory configurations, so if you're used to a "high hard" pedal it will absolutely feel different. I've been running mine for quite a few years though now with a bunch of different brake combinations and I've never had any issues with the pedal travel getting so long that it reduced braking.
