Send 87350IROC a PM, he should be able to make you a nice custom set at a price lower than most stainless aftermarket pieces.

Re: Brembo ctsv/ss front caliper lines
Not really. Go to your local Brakequip dealer and have them made while you wait. Takes about 20mins. It will probably take no longer than going to autozone and buying replacement 1LE lines, if they even have them.
Also, I don't believe OEM 1LE hoses have a 90 degree on the caliper side? If I am right, now you have a bend point right where the hose goes into the fitting. Not something I would do.
Pocket, do you have a pic of the installation?

Only pic I have at the moment
Mine use a custom bracket for the 13.5" rotor to fit under 17" wheels, so the generic LS1 bracket may be different. I do recall the 1LE lines being strait which isnt perfect but livable. I had to cut off the steering stock brackets from the A-arms to prevent pinching them at full lock. The steering box internal stops prevent the lines from being pinched at full lock now, not that I ride at full lock. One other thing, the strut mount clip didnt reach, so I had to zip tie it on
In hind sight, any long hose with 90* ends would be superior. If you've got access to a custom line shop, use it. I did not, and did not want to pay 10x the cost from an online store when rock auto had the stock stuff so cheap

- Can you post some of the specs of your set up, on how you got a 13.5 rotor to work on the 17" wheels, also how does it work??

Same question, also what wheels are the 5 spokes with the lip? those look awesome.. What kind of car is it going on (Z,Iroc,GTA,etc..)

Use C6 Z51 rotors, CTS-V calipers, that bracket and mod the hubs/spindles like any other upgrade

Re: Brembo ctsv/ss front caliper lines
Car looks great.
Am I imagining things or is the caliper not straight. The gaps (top and bottom) between the inside edge of the rotor friction surface and pad edge don't look consistent. The top gap looks much larger than the bottom gap. It may just be a shadow. But the bottom gap looks correct. It should be about 1/4".
