>Any guidelines for routing the back e-brake cables? The Helms diagrams are not super clear, and I think the previous set were not optimally routed, causing premature 'stuck caliper.' I'd release the e-brake and the pivot mechanism on the calipers would not move at all. This time I am trying a 'looser' routing so the cable bend is not too severe when going in to the caliper hole. However, this has my passenger side rear hanging down 6" below the rear control arm. Is that normal/acceptable?

The factory used some clip to hold the cable to the rear control arm. 
Use a nylon cable tie.
