LS1 Brake Upgrade
Question is will the Russell Brake Lines - 692370 on ebay work with a front LS1 brake upgrade on my iroc? What length front brake hoses are need and/or ideal?

Re: LS1 Brake Upgrade
I was able to use the braided Wilwood or earls lines for our cars work fine with my ls1 brakes. I will add that I redid the brake lines, I bent my own and made a set how I wanted them routed so the length may be an issue....

Re: LS1 Brake Upgrade
Do you have any pictures of our rerouting for the lines and new hoses? Just trying to get ideas from this Xmas brake upgrade.
Also, any issues cutting off the wheel stops on the spindle and arms? I mean, is the only issue the wheel rubbing on the wheel well? Do you know of anyone redesigning a new wheel stop assembly?
