braided brake lines?

i recently bought braided lines for a turbo II, my car was a base, but i swapped the five lug and all the calipers, the brake lines don't fit the front, they are way to short, they fit the back tho, what's the deal??, if i need to buy something else i have brand new frony brake lines for a turbo car for sale hahah

When you swapped in the five-lug setup you should have also put in a new hardline that connects to the caliper.

The single-pot setup is master-->hardline-->flexline-->caliper

The four-pot setup is master-->hardline-->flexline-->hardline-->caliper

Keep the flexline you have and go get the hardline sections for each side. They don't cost very much and are the proper way to get everything connected.
