i know they arch over to the caliper from the factory but has anyone ran it dropped down like this with any issues. i turned the rack by hand and saw no sign of binding. thanks for any input.

It's hard to tell from the photo but you want to make sure the connection where the rubber line mates to the hard line isn't overly stressed due to a radical bend. Your routing generates a "S" bend, the common routing creates a "U" bend.

I think that 180* bend coming out of that fitting is asking for trouble, long term.

I agree the brake line will start to come apart in that area over time.
