Strano Stainless Steel Brake Line Set for LS1 brakes question Going to put on my LS1 brakes this week however I have an LT1 based car. Are these lines compatible and are they worth it? I have a BMR k-frame as well, any compatibility issues that I need to know about? Thanx

I run Russell stainless brake lines on my GTO, they're a terrific, quality package. There are no compatibility issues with using stainless lines with our K-Member. The mounting locations are on the inner fender and the caliper themselves, so our suspension components won't get in the way or impact installation at all.
Be sure to use a good fluid and bleed your brakes when you install the lines. The pedal definitely feels better after you get these in there since the factory rubber lines will actually expand under braking - reducing pedal effectiveness.

Oh and I made the mistake of putting my engine in BEFORE reinstalling the brake on the BMR K-frame. This should be interesting.
