There's a few guys here who have them. I also have them for my nnbs brake upgrade, but haven't installed them yet.

Same here. I just got some from Rockauto along with some powder coated NNBS PowerStop calipers, and some black zinc plated rotors. I just need to install them now.

Just looking to see how well the hoses hold up had my mechanic put them on when they did the brake lines and he was like there flimsy and I'd be better off with the stock rubber ones these are pretty much like the ones on my OBS Tahoe never had an issue with them in 5 years

I tried to finish installing mine yesterday. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but the one on the passenger side wouldn't fit. For the life of me I could NOT get the flare nut to thread into the brake line. I ended up putting the old rubber line back on (for now at leat) and it threaded back on with no issues. I am suspecting that they shipped me two different brake lines now. The driver's side SS line is on, and while it was harder to get started than a stock brake hose, it did thread in. But I was jacking around with the passenger side one for damn near two hours before I gave up on it.
I'm gonna send Rockauto an email and see what they have to say about it. Hopefully they will send me another brake line and not make me take the driver's side back off and ship the pair back to them.

Did you have to zip tie the driver side one to the abs wire?

Yes, you have to zip tie them in place.

Thanks wasn't sure cause the pass side one didn't need to just the driver side, you just used one tie or a couple?

The brake lines came with two clamps. I used one clamp and one zip tie. If it would have come with four of those clamps, I would have used two on each side. I actually thought about running to Lowe's to see if I could find more of those type of cable clamps, but I just used the zip ties for now.
