I am trying to button up my C5 brake upgrade. Since my original rubber brake lines are dry rotted, i want to upgrade them to the braided stainless steel ones BUT which ones work better? Should i order them for a G body or C5 Vette? I also want to replace the rear one as well.
Thanks.

Tobin at kore3.com will have the hoses you need with the correct ends on them so you just have to connect them, no adapters or anything.

Thanks will look into ordering the kit BUT i have a stupid question on the kit. It says the rear line is for a "rear axle drop" does that mean the rear line is longer? I may be dropping my car 1" with the Hotchkis coils. Right now i am using some Fbody coils but don't have the rims to clear C5 calipers on the front. So if the line is longer would that present any issues? Also i am looking into upgrading the drums to Corvette discs when i rebuild the rear axle. Why are the brake lines so long? I can see the 2 front and the one from the chassis to axle but what are the other two long lines for? Sorry for the stupid questions
here is a the link: i am looking for at the 5 piece kit.

The "rear axle drop" line is simply the line between the frame and the axle housing. Nothing to do with lowering or such.

For lines, there are the 2 front lines. The axle drop line, then 2 lines from the rear axle hard lines to the rear calipers.
