I went with Aeroquip stainless steel AQP hose instead of the Socketless. I did find that trying to go straight off the Mocal oil sandwich plate and thereby routing the hoses above the sway bar was not possible so I went with 90 deg Aeroquip fittings. The stainless AQP hose does cause contact with the removable underbody protector panel but this is quite mild and does not interfere with it's placement. Overall a relatively easy DIY make significantly easier because of the work by Vipor.

Very glad I could help you out and also that you got it done with pretty much no issues.
You might want to look into some sort of wrap for the stainless lines however. After a lot of driving (and rubbing) I think you'll find that they'll start wearing away at your splash guard/underbody cover.
