    Length of brake hoses

    I'm replacing all my brake hoses and I have a doubt as to which end the longer lines go to. I've only done one front and used one of the short lines which was almost identical to the one I took off, but I peeked at the rears and they look the same length.
    It would seem logical that the fronts would use a longer hose than the rear, but i'd like to be sure before proceeding.

    Longer to the front Dave, plus I think the rear has a 14mm wrench fitting on one end. The front has to make an 'S' shaped bend around the strut. Coming to Hill Country?
