LT1son:
They are longer but the braided part is actually a little shorter. ISTR the caliper end fitting had about 6" ot steel line before the flex part. If you're careful, it's easy to bend and angle towards the body bracket. At least one person has written that the C5 Vette lines are longer. BTW, this was with the UMI C5 brake conversion, I used the LS1 Russell lines, I believe Earl's are the same.
