Question Braided brake hoses

Have some braided brake hoses for the front of my00 turbo. Is it ok to put these on and leave the rear hoses standard??

Nooooo, the braided lines don't stretch as much as standard rubber ones. So thats alot of pressure on the rears, also it will probably render the front pointless as you don't won't any flex in the pipes.

i fitted braided brake lines all round and the deal I got for all 5 was much better than buying front and rear seperately. The brake feel was transformed and I'll definitely upgrade all future cars!
