Default SS Lines for Z06 Brake Conversion Question

Hey I had a question about my Z06 Brake conversion. I had the calipers, rotors and ss lines installed today and the front stainless steel lines are very tight even when the car is on the ground. I think the problem is that I ordered the base model length brake lines and I need the Z06 length but I wanted to confirm this.

My questions are: Is there a differnece in length between the base model Z51 front brake lines and the Z06 front brake lines? Also does anybody know the correct length of the Z06 front brake lines?

Thank you for any and all help.

Thank you, anybody know the correct length for the Z06 front brake lines just so I can make sure I did indeed order the wrong size?

Just an update to help others:

I ordered the correct z06 lines and my problem was that the lines were reversed. The fronts were on the rear and vice versa. This forum helped me to figure it out.
