Default C5 brake set-up

Longe time listener, er, reader, first time poster.

I am upgrading my '97 Camaro to the Corvette C5 Brakes and Rotors. I have all the parts I need, except brake hoses. I want to use steel braided, but they only come in a kit of 4 for the C5. Does anyone know if anyone sells a brake hose kit for the conversion (like front C5 and rear '97 camaro setup). Is there one that I can just buy the fronts or rears?

I do want to change all of them out with the steel braided lines, I just don't want to have to buy 2 kits to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

There are several places that sell fronts and backs seperate. I believe PFYC (a sponsor) is one of them. Search BYunspeed, tbyrne and Strano parts - those are who I looked at. But yes what you are asking for exists.

Thanks for the help. I checked those websites, and didn't find anything. Any other suggestions. I guess I'll continue the search.

search google for "Kore3"

parts you need are...
C5 rotors (available from checker auto for about 26$ each)
C5 abutment brackets (some call these the caliper carriers) should be 39$ each
brake brackets from Kore3...

Thanks fellas. I already have the conversion brackets and calipers and and abutment brackets. All I need is steel braided brake lines. C5 lines for the front and camaro lines for the rear. I'm just having trouble finding someone that carries front only line kits or rear only line kits. I'll try Kore3.

Kore3 is hookin' me up. They are gonna make what I need for my set up. Little more than I wanted to spend, but at least I'm getting what I want. Thanks for your help guys.

Unless your boiling your brake fluid, regular factory rubber lines are probably your best choice.
