Was putting some springs in the rear the other day and to get enough drop to get the spring out, I removed a small bracket thing holding the brake line to the control arm (or whatever it's called). Is it ok to keep this thing out to allow a longer extension or is it there for a good reason?

I left them on and undone the ones up on the chassis

If it looks like it won't be tangled with anything, and isnt rubbing on anything, it should be fine.

i just finished putting my kings springs in and vt shocks just flexed it up and brake line was fine still had a curl in it had about 40mm between spring and spring seat have to zip tie them up or make some clamps

it's the hand brake cable that's attached to both of the rear arms on the vitara's.

i made up small extensions for the bracket on the arms & got a heap of slack by moving the clamps that hold the cable up on the crossmember where the A arm mounts.
