YES! YOU CAN use the standard VT-VZ brake hoses with these (I did). They are actually LONGER than the SSZ, Monaro ones. All you need to do to instal them into your new bigger calipers is rotate the end 180 degrees where it screws into the caliper body (1st pic). Works out perfectly. Then, because the standard brake hose is longer, you can pull the excess length back at the mount (2nd pic) on the strut. I'll be happy to assist anyone with more questions.
