Default Ls1 vs. Lt1 brake lines

I'm trying to find out how much longer the ls1 front brake lines are versus lt1 front lines. I did the c5 brake upgrade on my 97 z and need to make sure that I get a lines thats long enough to compensate for the extra 2" that the caliper sits away from the spindle.

The trackbrackets kit (and some others) recommend that you use the slightly longer (proper length?) C5 Corvette hoses with the conversion. That way you don't risk stretching them when the wheel is turned fully to one side or the other. The LS1 hoses could be a bit too short in some cases.

I'd get C5 hoses and use those.

If you have to buy new lines, I recommend going stainless at that time.
