Re: For those who converted to ls1 brakes
Even though I didn't use the LS1 fronts, I can answer your question on brake lines. The caliper uses a banjo fitting, and there are probably a number of companies that make flex lines that will connect to your factory hard lines with the correct banjo fitting for the caliper. In fact, I believe the C5 and the LS1 use the same banjo fitting. Here's where I got mine - the price is very reasonable I think. http://www.kore3.com/products.php?cat=20

Re: For those who converted to ls1 brakes
C6 now, but originally C5. These are the only photos I have showing the brake lines.

Re: For those who converted to ls1 brakes
Al I see you have adjustable upper control arms> Are they SPC's? Are you hitting the subframe? It looks awful close. I just installed mine but I have no motor or tranny in the car and mine are touching.

Re: For those who converted to ls1 brakes
It's possible - that's an old picture, and the susp was probably just hanging there. They have never hit while driving the car that I know of. (yes - SPC)

Re: For those who converted to ls1 brakes
It has been a while since I did my conversion, but I believe the factory ls style hoses will mate to the original hard lines without any issues.
