Very good point, I didn't think of that. I'm getting the correct rear brake lines this saturday, so shouldn't be a big deal. Oh, and to touch up on the question about swapping brake lines, it is really simple. The only tricky part is the mess, make sure you have a thick plastic tarp or something like that, and make it one you can throw away. Brake fluid will eat through trash bags prety quickly, so its gotta be thick. Oh, and DO NOT get brake fluid on paint!! If you get any on the car, wash it immediately or it'll eat paint just like an eraser removes pencil from paper.
