Default looking into c6 z06 front brakes...

ive read many threads abvout this conversion and will be buying in seperate parts so i can avoid using stock z06 crappy rotors...question is, i want stainless lines which do i buy? ones for ls1 brakes or specifically for c6 Z06 brakes? if for the Z06 brakes, will they connect up to my original lines in my 02 Z28?
i also read in a thread about the use of a c5 Z06 brake master cylinder? is this needed? will my stock master cylinder work just fine?

I haven't heard anything about needing to replace the master cylinder. As far as brake lines, you can get ones for a c5 corvette and you'll be fine. The thought behind having the replace the brake lines is that they may stretch upon turning, but I've never heard of anyone stretching them when they decide against upgrading to c5 lines.

Any of the stainless hoses will work fine. They all use M10x1.0 banjo bolts. And due to the fact that the hose connects in the center of the Z06 caliper you won't need a different length.
The stock master cylinder will work fine also. That's what I'm running.

I believe the SJM !abs kit replaces the ABS module with a proportioning valve.
