Default C6Z calipers on C5, which brake lines?

For all of you who have installed the C6Z big brakes on your C5, which brake lines did you use?

Thanks!!

I had some stainless lines from kore3 and wasn't really impressed with them and swapped them out not long ago for Doug Rippie's lines... they are made by goodridge and use -an fittings instead of banjo bolts... they are a little more expensive than other stainless lines but I really like them and they were worth it to me... http://dougrippie.com/featured/drm-s...l-brake-lines/

I thought I was prepared by having the StopTech stainless versions on hand when the swap took place (for a C6z), and was in for a shock when they were wrong....

Luckily, I have a local builder (D.O.T. approved) that whipped me up a set of s/s hoses to fit in a couple of hours.

DRM lines here. I prefer the steel AN fittings over the banjo bolts and crush washers.
