Default Brake line Question?

I have just ordered 2 refurbed front calipers with grooved discs and kevlar pads from the Brake God that is Ian at GODSPEED. (following the oh so common caliper piston failure).

was thinking while im putting on all new brakes is it worth me putting on HEL brake lines? The car does not go on the track and im not an aggressive braker.

Can i just put HEL brake lines just on the front for the time being??
as im hoping to do the rear brakes which will consist of the same GODSPEED discs and pads with HEL Lines ......when funds allow.

Also how much Brake fluid will i need if doing this?

Thanks in Advance

You can put the lines on just the front if you wish and it should improve pedal feel, obviously not as much as doing all 4 but you plan to do the rears later anyway

About a litre of fluid is enough to completely flush the system through, I normally allow a litre and a half just to be certain

if your going to change them at all why not simply do all 4x as you will have to bleed the rears anyhows so might as well do it once..............
