What Brake Lines for Ls1 Brake Conversion ?

[jlo]

@Sahara54 I ended up getting those lines you talked about, did you end up using the stock locking clips on the brake line? I noticed the kit didn't come with them.

Yeah, I reused the clips that came off my car.

I'm about to do this conversion,but I'm gonna be using C5 Corvette rotors and braided lines as well.I just ordered conversion brackets and I can't wait to get rid of the wimpy stock LT1 brakes..............

@jlo The C5 lines bolted right up. @savage388 I used the Stoptech lines from Rockauto at $41/pair and they came with new crush washers and caliper bolts.

So these bolt right on with no modification?

Undo the line, pop the clip and install in reverse. The C5 Line is approx. 2" longer than the LT line so there's no need to bend and move the stock hard line.

Thanks so much, one more question, I keep seeing mixed reviews on the brake line to caliper bolt, do I need the ls bolt or can I reuse mine?

The new lines come with a new banjo bolt and crush washers.

Ok, the new lines worked great, but I'm not impressed with the brakes other than looks they don't feel any different than before. My pedal is actually sponge feeling now, and yes I've bleed my brakes several times. You would think they would be firmer than before, especially with the stainless steel lines.

[jlo]

might want to check your brake booster for that spongy feeling.

What would I check? The brakes worked prefect before the swap.
