I have my SJM ABS delete sitting here and I want to replace my front and rear brake lines with braided at the same time. I did the LS1 front brake swap back in 04 or 05, so the stock LT1 length has been fine I guess.

So who here has done the LS1 brake swap and got braided lines? SJM doesn't make the kit anymore with longer fronts. Will I be fine running a LT1 braided kit?
I know that the stock lines have been fine this long but I figure I'll ask.

Maybe I will get a response here. Suspension/brake section has been about useless on this situation as has emailing flynbye with no response three days later.....

i did the ls1 front brakes and used the lt1 braided lines with not problems just have to bend the metal tab where the braided line bolts up to the hard line. dont know if the back lines would work for you.

I have earl's braided 98-02 corvette lines on mine... They work great, the only downside is that you cant use the rear lines that come with the kit.

I did call Stranoparts. I got the answer that there was no way to know for sure. I thought he would say like yeah the LS1 kit will work, but I pretty much got the answer of no one makes a kit with LS1 fronts and LT1 rears.

I then said SJM used to make such a kit but they don't anymore. Which sucks, one of those things, once I'm ready to buy the product doesn't exist anymore.

From the responses I've heard then LS1 rear lines won't work.

blown97ss, so you used a braided LT1 line kit then? The stock line had worked, so I guess I just wanted to make sure that the braided lines had enough travel also.

yeah i have the lt1 braided line kit on the car with ls1 brakes. no problem with them turning the wheel all the way with the wheels off still have a good amount of slack.

I emailed flynbye 4 days ago after you recommend them in the other thread. Still no response. I ordered the LT1 kit from Stranoparts as blown97ss says the lines aren't tight.
