Default Budget boost w/ 5100's Few Concerns...

First off, I have a 2012 2-door sport, 6-speed. Have a Teraflex 2.5" BB on its way. I also just ordered a set of Bilstein monotube 5100s (for 1.5-3" front, 2-3.5" rear). The kit comes with rear brake line extensions, but none for the front. Will my droop be enough to call for longer front brake lines, or will they be fine? Maybe just unbolt the bracket holding the line to frAme? Another thing I'm worried about is the exhaust spacer people have been talking about. Will I be needing it with the amount of droop the shocks are going to allow?
I frequent these forums pretty often, and have not stumble acrossed the knowledge I am seeking, but if there's an existing thread, please feel free to point me to it.

Thanks guys!

I remember reading about that, and just wanted to be sure i remembered it correctly. Should I zip tie them to the shock body or anything?

They aren't included in the BB kit though, unless directly from teraflex differs from distributors.
