Do you need complete braided hoses?

OK peeps may be a stupid question but there's gonna be someone that is more sure of the answer than me:

If you have braided brake hoses up front do you def need them for the rear as well?

[Mark]

If you only replace the fronts, you are asking the rubber hoses to take twice the stain as the braided hoses won't flex, so yes, you run an even higher risk of a pipe blowing.

erm it makes no odds really.... but to be fair the braideds come in a 4 set anyway.

[beavy69]

I thought what mark did tbh. So why does it not make any odds? will they be less effective?

[Stuart]

youve got pressure limiters to the rears anyway so the pressure at the back "wont" change with braiseds at the front

OK thanks Stu.
