Speed-Flex Hose to replace Hard Brake Lines?

Hey, i'm still trying to sort out issues with my rear end swap and brake crap, but that **** aside.

Will it be okay to use lengths of the Earls Speed Flex hose long enough to go from the master cylinder to the rear, to the left and right wheels. I know they use it to make the SS lines that we replace our felxible lines with, so flex over the longer distances shouldnt be a problem.

just wondering if you think it'll flex more than actual hard line.... or wether it would be a negligible difference.

edit: why the **** dont they make -3an to 1.0mm inverted flare, they only have it in normal flare, whereas they have -3an to 1.25mm IF... goddamnit, this has been the worst week ever.

As long as it's metal. Rubber lines will give you a "mushy" feel. And a rubber line that long is asking for disaster. And your petal will feel like there's a giant air bubble in the line.
