Alright guys, im putting in my LS1 brakes tommorow, and I need to make sure that the lines on my car are gonna work with the LS1 Brakes. Everything is stock on the car currently, so im just gonna be puttin on new spindles and calipers and rotors, the whole deal. But Im not using LS1 lines, because im pretty sure you can just use the stock ones. Am I correct??? Please ease my worries!

Yes, I've had the LS1 kit on now for six months and one track day with no problems. Just make sure to bend down the mounting tabs where the rubber hose meets the hard line about 90 degrees and you will have plenty of reach.

mine had to go about 60 degrees down. pounded it w/ a big hammer after bending a little. check your lock-to-lock before finishing so the line is never taut

It;s ok to use the stock brake lines. All you have to do is bend down the little tab where the soft line bolt to the hard line. I bent mine down about 75 degrees. I just used a dremel to make it bent a little easier.
