Default Willwood 6pot brakes & brake lines

Do the stock brake lines fit (stainless versions that is) or do you need custom lenth & ends?

For my 95

Wilwood uses an AN fitting so no stock doesn't work

Just got off the phone with http://www.guldstrand.com/

They said they could make up a set and have it shipped here,
but it would be a lot cheaper and faster to get a local shop to do it.

Good honest advice

I made my own lines which were cheaper than buying a "kit" for a C4.

This goes on the hardline on the car:

This goes in the caliper:

Then select whatever length hose you need to connect them:

I used this setup with the C4 brakes, the C5 front upgrade, and my current setup (not driven on yet).

Thanks Kubs,

Turns out Summit had the brake lines for $59 (for both!)

Arrived on Wed.

I decided to tackle taking apart the 17yo brakes hose until a weekend I'm not autocrossing.
(instead of 2 days before)

they fit my CCW's, though I am going to need a 1/4in spacer.
