I already have 4th gen rear with pbr's or I have to order separate brake lines for front and rear.
Thanks.

 

ls1 rear brakes use longer hoses than the 3rd gen, so to use them properly, you need the proper 4th gen rear hoses.

 

Will front braided lines from this kit above(link) work for LS1 front brake swap. I already have 4th gen rear with pbr's and I will keep it. Only changing fronts.

 

Hi guys
I really need help to order right set for my setup( front ls1 and rear pbr).
Thanks.

 

I need the same answer.

 

Well I called Flynbye and left massage but nobody called me.We all know how hard is to get him to contact us.So in this case i will order just hoses for front brakes unless somebody can (count on you) help.
thanks.

 

anybody have an answer for the question, as i need to order the brake hoses also?

thanks

 

Ask http://bigbrakeupgrade.com/contact.html He has always responded in the same day.

I asked about reusing the braided hoses I currently have on my stock brakes & his response was:
"The hardline side of your hoses are 10mmx1.0 female bubble flare and the caliper side should be a banjo 10mm....the actual bolt that goes into the caliper thru the banjo is a 10mmx1.5. Your hoses would cross over to the C5 kit, the banjo bolts are a different thread (10mmx 1.0) but are supplied with the kit. The hoses you have are going to be too short to use on a LS1 kit."

I also about about LS1 vs C5 upgrades:
" A lot of the decision is usually dependent on the wheels on the car, but if your an open ticket I would suggest the C5 for a few reasons...

• Pressure cast calipers vs. the LS1 gravity cast (less chance of caliper bridge spread)
• Larger diameter rotors have more leverage vs smaller
• C5 rotors are left and right specific with curved vents that advance the airflow through the rotor more effectively
• Caliper clocking and abutment bolt spread allow the retention of the spindles stock steering stop
• Many bolt on options for the base setup including all C5 variants and all C6 variants 12.75, 13.4, 14 inch rotors and 2- 6 piston calipers plus CTS-V brembo`s bolt on.

The LS1 has it`s advantages as well..

• Fits under a typical 16 inch wheel
• Larger width rotor than other stock type 16 inch rim capable upgrades
• Expense to performance ratio
• Bolt on options of 2010+ Camaro brake parts (with minor modifications and wheel size increase)

Both base kits as you can see can be up-fitted if needed and both offer advantages the other cannot. I would be happy to help you with which ever you choose."

 

that helps. so in order to use the ls1 calipers, i would need actual ls1 hoses? will those work with the stock hard lines?
