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

C6 now, but originally C5. These are the only photos I have showing the brake lines.

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.

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)

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.

Any one else? Pictures of how you routed and mounted the hoses would be great.
