I can't speak for others, but on the trackbrackets kit, we call for C5 hoses to keep the hose from being stretched at full lock in the name of safety.

I tested the stock brake lines with my c5 conversion at full travel, and I did not see any binding or stretching.

Yup depends on the kit I have the UMI kit and the calipers are almost in the same position as the stockers so I used f-body lines.
