Lol. Granted it's not much overlap but the calipers come off and are hung from the chassis when the subframe and suspension comes down. To be able to disconnect the brake hose and remove the brake system during the process would save some time overall.

The least fun part of a BBK installation is trimming the backing plates and replacing the two upper rear brake lines at the subframe. Those two brake lines are usually overlooked during a BBK install as they're not usually included with the kits. Those two OEM hoses should be upgraded when the caliper lines are being replaced with SS variants.
