You're installing an LS1 ABS rear with the dual rear lines. I'd pull the dual rear axle lines off and get lines from a '89-97 rear disc car and install those. This way you will have the lines you need. If you can't find any close to you, LMK. I have new axle hard lines and rear Earl's braided SS lines in the shop if you'd like them. I know you're in a rush so my timing is probably not so good for you.

In any case, lines from an earlier 4th gen ('93-97) non ABS or later year third gen will work as they are designed to fit your application. You can use the banjo bolts and such that your LS1 calipers use.

HTH...

ok..so this would be the only way to do it? i cant hook up lines to from the caliper to the 3rd gen T-fitting and make it 1 line?

 

where and if possible what part number are the lines from the model camaros i need to hook up the 2lines into 1 line on my 2000 rear end.

 

Come to think of it, yeah....this would work.

If you're in that big of a hurry, go to Napa and get some lengths of preflared lines that you can bend yourself and make the lines you need, I think they're $8-10 each line and the lengths vary. Get the one closest to what you need and bend the new one to fit.

thats exactly what im doing hehe but i just wanted to confirm 1 thing..are the sizes all the same? like from picture 1 to picture 3 are those 2 sizes the same?

 

Yes, they will be the same. I suggest taking your stock lines in with you to be sure, couldn't hurt, but they should all be the same.
