For those of you with frnt brake line questions for Brake upgrades
Here is some more info on the C5 brake upgrade.
I often see people saying to bend your brake line bracket. You should be able to unbolt the bracket, rotate it vertical and bolt it back in at 45 degrees up which will cause your brake line to point towards your caliper instead of up and away. This lets you make use of a about 3-4 extra inches which should be enough to reach most if not all aftermarket calipers. So don't bend your brackets... unbolt and reposition them. See this picture.
Compare the previous picture to this one which shows the brake line bracket in its original position. The adapter bracket you see in the picture is a C5 bracket that doesn't require you to cut bottom bolt hole (ear) on the spindle... So you can revert to stock anytime.
