Default Difference between C5 and C6 brake hoses?

Like the title says. I am interested in swaping C6Z brakes onto my C5Z.

What is the difference between the C5 and C6 braided lines?
Any pics of them side by side?

The seller has a set of braided lines but isnt sure if they came off his C5 or C6..

So anyone know how to tell the difference??



Thanks

The hard line fitting on the car side is different.

Lengths I believe are slightly different if you are talking about the OEM lines due to the C6's having a bigger brake.

They do not interchange other than the fitting on the caliper.
