Default Earls Hyperfirm brake lines

Ok. Getting ready to buy some brake lines. My question is, Earls only lists their kits for 2003 Silverados. Is there really a difference between the 99 and 03's brake lines? Am I missing somthing?

When I went to put on my Earls lines, the T-line on the rear had one wrong size fitting on the distribution block. I called Earls and I was told some have the same size fitting on both sides and some dont. So I am going to get and adapter and put that last line on at some point. That is the only thing I can think of that would be different.

Yes, firmer pedal and better feedback IMO. Yes, there should be an improvement even with stock brakes. Yes, it is even better with aftermarket brakes and SS lines.

All I could find for my Tahoe were Goodridge G-Stop. Got them off ebaybut they also have a website. Can't post the place as they are not a sponsor. PM me if you want.
