You dont upgrade the camaro lines. Like I just said above, you need new front lines. Stock C5 lines work nicely, and arent very expensive. All that needs to be done to the C5 lines is one of the alignment tangs on the hard line end needs to be filed off.

The knuckles looked good before I put them on. Just wondering if I got a bent one or 2. Thanks for the help.

Hey Brian, no way are they twisted if you got them from Rick. The tie rods may be off a little with the LS1 spindles throwing the alignment slightly. Mine pulled barely to the left....alignment made it perfect.
