Brake upgrade-SS lines
I am upgrading my rotors and pads and would like to do the SS brake lines at the same time. I have read about different fittings and it seems AN fittings are better than Banjo. Anybody recommend any particular brake line? What length is the C5 brake line?
Thank you

SS lines
Do a search on brake lines and you will find a number of companies. I went with Summit and only had to slightly bend the lines right behind the caliper to have them work on the C6 Z06 brakes. If you have stock calipers I think any of the kits will work with no problems. I don't know the lengths, but the rears are about 2" longer than the fronts.

Several different vendors sell the Goodridge kit. It is complete and fits perfectly. I've had mine for a couple years now. Not a thing wrong with banjos. HTH
