Re: LS1 front brake upgrade questions
The orientation of the hard line and the bracket that secures the flex/hard line to the frame are different between the LT and LS. As i recall, the end result is the LT lines are too long and the LS are too short. Think most people buy the lines for the vette; maybe they are in between? I bought LS brackets at the junk yard, and bent, cut and re-flared the brake lines so I could use the LS lines.

Yes, I used 98+ lines, sounds like you may have had trac control so there is a different set for that as you get an extra rear line with trac control. I reused the old hard lines, cut them down a bit and bent them, as well as need to reflare them. Again, the LS has a different bracket as well from the LT that you will need to get at a junkyard.
