Braided Stainless Steel for LS1 brakes

I will have LS1 brakes installed all around eventually. Currently I have the rears installed with an LS1 axle. The issue I am having is if I by a kit there is going to be some piece that I will not be able to use. Will a kit for an LS1 camaro work on the front brakes or will there be issues? If that were to work then only problem will be that the section that comes down from the body to the axle will be too short and one the fitting of the body line will have the wrong side of the flare. I have no problem making my own, I just need some guidance on which pieces to by.

I haven't updated to SS lines yet but have run stock rubber '88 non 1le hoses front and stock '00 rear hoses on my 4 wheel LS1 brakes conversion for 3 years without issues

Re: Braided Stainless Steel for LS1 brakes

That is what I plan on doing from the get go. My main concern is the piece that comes down from the body to the axle. I figure that if I'm going to replace that part, do the whole thing.
