brake hose routing and hand brake cables

hi all , some naïve questions
what do most of you do ( or more precise what is the correct way )
re routing brake flexi and hand brake cable reference the suspension arms
do you attach them to say the bottom or top arm , do you let them swing free
do you cable tie them , do you p clip them.

bit of a daft question I know but I would like some opinion's please .

Some cables can be really stiff, but you generally need some sort of attachment that holds them to the upright, else they can bind on and off with suspension movement. The optimum is to secure the cable as close to the caliper as possible....and then to the chassis.

Let them swing free, just drop the axle to pull droop and maximum lock and allow a little slack, when you do up put a small twist before securing the lock nuts, this will keep the flex away from the bones and frame as it makes it curl.
