    I bought the stainless lines for the brakes a while ago and havent installed them yet. I now just picked up some dual piston f body brakes and i heard that the lines need to be longer in the front for them. Is this true and how much longer are they?

    The longer lines are nice, but not absolutely necessary. You can bend the bracket where the line connects to the hard line out some and get clearance. Atleast you can with the stock lines, I can't say for certain with aftermarket braided lines.
