Default Classic brake lines - Do they fit both the sliding calipers and K-Sports/Brembos?

As title. I need to get a set but not sure if the rears will fit the ****ty V1 sliding calipers that are on there still. These will be addressed ASAP but for now, they'll need to fit.

Front is getting K-Sports as these have already been bought.

Yes the standard hoses will fit on all the calipers , the newage hoses are all the same length and ends on them , the only difference is how the front hoses connect onto the front struts , the classic is held on with a clip , the newage are bolted onto the strut bracket

Thanks Ian. Can they be made to work or is it a cable tie bodge job? I'd rather do that as the car is being tracked this weekend then change them again down the line than stick with the rubber items to be honest!

you can use the newer hoses , just use bolts and wide washers to fit it on the strut brackets
