    being you have a car over 10 years old, i'd change them, either f body rubber lines or the SS lines.

    The hoses are 1 yr old. Dont want to spend $100 on hoses if the stock ones will fit. So do i use the regal hoses or the camaro hoses?

    i dont think the stock w body line will fit the banjo bolt for the f body caliper.

    You can use the stock hoses. Bend the retainer bracket that bolts to the inner fender well down a smidge and it'll work.
