Unequal front brake lines = bad?

Is it ok to have the steel lines that run to the front brake calipers completly and udderly not the same lenght.

i understand that they are much diffirent now (2.5feet vs almost 6) however im looking at rerouting the passenger side one and making it almost 9 feet long to get it away from my turbo, manifold etc

are there downsides to this other than the fact its just giong to take longer to bleed?

It depends how compressive (is that a word?) the "hydraulic" fluid is.
Since brake fluid (glycol based) doesn't compress that much, it's really not that big of a deal unless we're talking about extremes.
