Which Z06? C5 or C6? The C5 caliper hoses are all 10mm banjo by M10x1.0 female bubble flares whereas they switch to M10x1.0 female inverted flares on the C6 models...not sure why though. For most of these conversions, we would normally supply hoses with 3/8-24 SAE inverted flares to match the early GM applications, but that's the advantage to not using OE hoses.
To add something to what matt pointed out about moving the hard line to the rear of the axle, not only would it make room for bump stops but it also protects the hard line from gravel kicked up by the front tires. You'll see most OE applications run a hard line wrapped with a coiled wire gravel guard in places susceptible to rock damage.
