Did I ruin my rear brake lines?
The springs on the ends of the LS1 brake lines that attach to the caliper are 1" longer than the ones on the 3rd gen brake lines. So I cut them to fit. (long story, no need to go through it because it doesn't apply to the problem.
Did I ruin the lines by cutting those springs shorter or will I be fine to use them?
Thx.

I assume that the length of the cables and their attaching points are still the same, so in that regard everything should bolt up. Being unfamiliar with LS1 brakes, I'm unsure of how cutting the springs will affect cable function (or if cutting them will affect anything at all).
