Earl's braided brake lines... longer than stockers?

just wondering if Earl's braided brake lines are longer than stocker LT1 brake lines...

I want them because i did a LS1 front brake upgrade and i'm not 100% happy with the way the front ones are fitting/stretching, so i was thinking of redoing all of them... what do you all think?

thanks!

Just get a set for 98+, the rears will fit 93-97 cars.

Your saying use the rears from 98+ kit for front lines on 93-97 with LS1 brakes? Or did I read that wrong? Planning on doing this very soon, the lines seem to be the only question. And from all that I've read around here seems like its different on every car.

I think he is saying buy a set of lines for a 98-02 LS1 camaro. Use the front lines for your LS1 brake setup and the LS1 rear lines will still fit and work with your LT1 rear brake setup.

I was hoping this was true. I want to switch the stainless lines also.

Yeah, Patrick, you've got it right.
You will find that the line for the driver side rear is a bit on the long side. I elongated the bolt hole in the bracket to ease up the bend in the line.
