ls1 front brake line question
I was going through some parts and found a set of earls brake lines for an lt1. I was wondering if these will work on my ls front brake upgrade. I am going to be putting the front end back togather monday night and figured I would ask here before I compare them.

Re: ls1 front brake line question
Ive been using the 3rd gen hoses from day 1. The factory replacements are cheap (~$13.00 per side). So Im sure stainless braided lines for a thirdgen would work on the LS1 swap too. Ive considered up grading to a set, but if I do, Ill probably just go custom length and get things routed how Ide like them.
There was a reason I didnt use the 4th gen hoses when I did my swap. I had them in hand...so if they worked I would have used them. And it probably had to do with the way they were secured. The thirdgen hoses clip onto the strut and onto a bracket on the inner fender. Im guessing the 4th gen versions didnt fit well, so I didnt use them. Cant remember 100%.
