When you installed the front calipers, did you re-use the Aurora brake hoses, or did you need to buy/install the hoses from a GXP/Lucerne?
Since the current brake hoses attach at the center of the caliper, it seems like it could be a stretch for the same hose to attach to a caliper that now installs at the bottom, is longer, and sits further away from the center. Especially when turning the wheel.

I'm beginning to think I should have posted this question somewhere else!!

No this is the right place, not many people with GXP brakes. I used the stock Aurora brake hoses on mine, I have the V6 Lucerne front calipers, I don't know if those are like the GXP calipers.
I would eventually like to switch to stainless steel brake hoses, those make all the difference, regular brake hoses flex a little causing a slight give in the pedal, ss brake hoses help for quicker pedal reaction.

I was able to find some information on another site that confirms you DO need to upgrade to the GXP brake hoses when using the larger Rotor/Caliper assembly.
Once they finally arrive (...I'm currently experiencing some shipping issues...), I'm planning on taking a number of pictures during my install so I can do a write-up about the swap.
With regard to the Braided hoses, I was going to go that route, but didn't find anyone that makes them for the Bonneville GXP (or any of the applications with the JL9 brakes.
